Hello,

I was just poking around and noticed this:

  $ git cat-file -p v1.5.0
  object 437b1b20df4b356c9342dac8d38849f24ef44f27
  type commit
  tag v1.5.0
  tagger Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Wed Feb 14 00:00:00 2007 +0000

Is it really the case that you tagged v1.5.0 at midnight UTC exactly; and that you travelled from your normal -0800 timezone to +0000? None of the other tags show this strange output.

  $ git cat-file -p v1.5.0.2
  object 0d9b9ab1284ce125fd49cf7dbf4d28e0540cf035
  type commit
  tag v1.5.0.2
  tagger Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Mon Feb 26 00:26:21 2007 -0800

This looks much more normal.

Is the v1.5.0 tag object showing a bug? (The other possibility being that you did some clever messing to make it appear at exactly that moment)

Who are you referring to as "you" when your "To:" header reads Git Mailing List ;-)?

That one and its commit object has that timestamp because the release was supposed to be named "Rose scented bamboo".

Ah but the "tagger" reads Junio :-)

Fair enough.  Just thought I'd raise it in case it was a bug.

You cannot name it like that. Unless I am mistaken, "Rose scented bamboo" is no British slang word.
