Maybe the two should work the same, whatever it is decided to be the standard behavior.

Amending through both command line and git-gui preserves author date and updates commiter date. git version 2.11.1.windows.1 git-gui version 0.21.GITGUI Tcl/Tk version 8.6.6 Regards, BugA ``` ## Juraj, 2017-02-12 21:40 Subject: Re: [git-gui] Amending doesn't preserve timestamp Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAEPqvozCvFqOTNPw0c1ErKoOd%2BMn1WCyJr9hj6CXiWWtL93Tqw%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <8a1179dfbb7743b6b8c23570306120b7@MAIL.fer.hr> ``` Hi Igor, I forgot to write the version I'm using. It's on Ubuntu 16.04, git-gui package version 1:2.7.4-0ubuntu1 (--version: git-gui version 0.20.0), git version 2.7.4, tcl and tk 8.6.0+9. Perhaps it got fixed in a newer version, in that case, my bad for not checking before posting. Thanks, Juraj ``` ## Igor Djordjevic BugA, 2017-02-12 23:06 Subject: Re: [git-gui] Amending doesn't preserve timestamp Message-ID: <3e6e8f1f-a35c-45ee-e1a4-83e89ac3c1ec@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/3e6e8f1f-a35c-45ee-e1a4-83e89ac3c1ec%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On 12/02/2017 22:40, Juraj wrote: > Hi Igor, > > I forgot to write the version I'm using.

It seems that git-gui messes up international signs on amending. E.g. I use git gui to make a commit, and all is OK: commit ef24b133dda6c18b8ef01b1a38f9e049d87f2021 Author: Juraj Oršulić I open git gui again, click "Amend Last Commit", press "Commit", and I get this in git log: commit 6e09ff9edcef863d92f02cf86e0307c27171aec0 Author: Juraj OrÅ¡uliÄ Does anyone have any idea what could be the cause? I tested this on Ubuntu 16.04 and HEAD vearsion of git-gui on http://repo.or.cz/git-gui.git, currently 0.21.0.5.g5ab72. Thanks, Juraj ``` ## Igor Djordjevic, 2017-03-23 22:54 Subject: Re: [git-gui] Amending doesn't preserve timestamp Message-ID: <851ca2c5-2224-2463-2b50-781861c95683@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/851ca2c5-2224-2463-2b50-781861c95683%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Hi Juraj, On 23/03/2017 15:26, Juraj Oršulić wrote: > Hello Igor (and others), I have something else to report about the > commit amend functionality in git-gui, and I think it could be > related to my original question.

Yes, I can confirm this. git version 2.12.1.windows.1 git-gui version 0.21.GITGUI Tcl/Tk version 8.6.6 That said, it seems there are quite some topics about it, like [1], [2], [3] and [4], but the most interesting one could be [5], having some kind of a "workaround" at the end as well. I`ve tried replacing the "commit.tcl" file as proposed, and it seems to work correctly -- just please do note that it actually reverts the file in question to an older version, maybe (re)introducing other bugs while fixing this specific one, so it could be something you may want to investigate into a bit more before actually using it for good. P.S. It might be a good idea to start a new topic in situations like this (send out a new e-mail instead of a reply), keeping unrelated discussions separated and helping interested parties spotting the new topic more easily.

Thanks on for thoroughly searching the mailing list and on your suggestions. I hope that someone will come up with a fix that both preserves the author details and date correctly.
