From what I've heard basically all meta-data about a commit (including author and date!) is mutable. Previously suggested was to stub out the commit message and user data with placeholders, and drop in the real information using git notes. I like your suggestion (of using git replace instead) better. How would we know to use git replace though? Does the replay API somehow indicate that a revision changed since last time you looked? -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
