The reason I ask is I'm working on my (bastard) fast-import program for Jon's Mozilla CVS -> GIT conversion effort and I'm taking the author and committer lines blind from the Python code. If the Python code gives me a bad line its going to go into the pack that way, with that possibly resulting in a totally corrupt repository.
Apart from timestamp, which is used in merge base and rev-list calculations, it does not look like "a totally corrupt repository". "Slightly corrupt", perhaps - you still can work with it, so long the blobs, commits and trees make sense. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
