When we say that git ignores time, WE MEAN IT. Git does not rely > on time, git does not use time, git does not CARE! I understand that git doesn't care about time internally as it treats it as a random number for people to care about or not on their own, I am only saying that local time is more likely to be cared about than disparate remote creation times. It should be possible to export git data, through say a web interface, in a such a way that local time order is consistent with commit order. -Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
