Subject: [PATCH] Fix section about backdating tags in the git-tag docs
Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2008 22:52:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080411205207.GA18531@atjola.homenet> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <loom.20080411T193913-700@post.gmane.org>
The tagger is equal to the committer, not the author, so
GIT_COMMITTER_DATE is the right environment variable to use, not
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE.
