That is, the reflogs are readily accessible, but noone made it possible to link them to the commits in such a way that the dates/times change as you seem to desire. Of course, you can do things like: $ git show HEAD@{2.days.ago} to see what HEAD looked like 2 days ago, but you can't do things like get gitk to show you that this tag only appeared in your repo 2 days ago. (Keep in mind, of course, that reflogs are referring to YOUR local copy of the git repo, not what HEAD was on the server that you cloned from.) And also keep in mind that on the command line you can invoke a lot of "plumbing commands" that you certainly wouldn't expect to be exposed in a web interface. Rogan
