Hi all,

I have been using GIT for several time and I love it.

I normally do commits when something works or on the end of the day,=20
just to record what have doing. On other day, when I consider that is=20
done/working I do a rebase -i squashing everything on one commit. The=20
date of that commit will be preserved and is the date of the first=20
commit. Then I do a git-reset HEAD~1, git-add . and git-commit with the=
=20
same message to have the current date.

A nice functionality was a git-touch that did the commands before.

Best regards and keep the good work,
Lu=EDs Sousa

P.S.: While writing this message I realize that is easy to accomplish a=
=20
git-touch doing a bash script, but probably is a good idea to share.
