It works[*] and it does what using the timestamp was trying to do. Namely, work from "more recent" (or "closer") commits toward "older" (or "farther") commits until you've gone past the point you care about.

It's a little late to be changing the structure of a commit and you'd have to deal with some size/scale issues, but it's do-able. A better idea may be to generate and keep the generation number on a per repository basis, and you'd be able to work around changing grafts.

What about timestamp = MAX(now(), timestamps of parents) idea, which
doesn't need changing the structure of a commit?


So, do you really want your name as committer on a commit with a date 300 years in the future because one of the parents had a bad date?
