Hi,
being new to git I did some experiments with commits looking at the hashes. What I observed:
* The same commit (same file, same committer, same message) into different empty repositories (git init) gives different hashes. So I assume that also the time of the commit influences the hash. Is this intended? For what reason?
* Having created two repositories exactly the same way (the history is the same except for the commit times and hashes) I applied the same patch (using git am) and again I got different hashes for these commits. So in some way also the repository/branch influences the hash of a commit!?
From reading the Git user's manual, chapter 10, object storage format, I was not expecting this. Can someone explain or give a link to a more detailed description?
thank you,
Wolfgang
