Time is neither nice nor linear. Time is a complete illusion. If _any_ of your tools are using the time for _any_ purpose other than to display it to the user along with the author/committer information, then you are probably making a mistake. Relative time does not represent the revision history of a distributed system which supports merges. Any correlation you think you see is _purely_ a coincidence. -- dwmw2
