Nice one!

That made me come up with this, which shows a timestamp next to each file:

   git log --pretty=format:/%ai --name-only |
     grep . |
 	perl -ne 'if (m(^/(.*))) { $date = $1; } else { print "$date $_" unless $seen{$_}++; }'

(change %ai into whatever timestamp you want to show)

Mutating that into something that calls "touch" might be useful for those of us who would like an initial check-out to have last-modified times like the ones CVS would give you.
