Subject: Committing with past date?
Date: Sun, 31 Aug 2008 12:44:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1220179469.5518.5.camel@magnus-desktop> (raw)

Hi,

Can someone tell me how to make a git commit with a date other than the
current. I hope there is some easier way than changing the system
clock.. :)

I'm trying to port over old version history that I maintained manually
(tarballs and changelogs) into a git repository. 

Best regards,
Magnus
