I just don't worry about the timestamps ;-) I normally track the Moodle CVS tree, and do all my "new feature" and "client customization" branches in git. The feature branches I rebase aggressively, until they are ready to be "landed" in CVS. It is in that "landing in cvs" that I use cvsexportcommit, usually with a long list of commits! cheers, m -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Martin @ Catalyst .Net .NZ Ltd, PO Box 11-053, Manners St, Wellington WEB: http://catalyst.net.nz/ PHYS: Level 2, 150-154 Willis St NZ: +64(4)916-7224 MOB: +64(21)364-017 UK: 0845 868 5733 ext 7224 Make things as simple as possible, but no simpler - Einstein -----------------------------------------------------------------------
