It's true I don't know much about git, what is the difference between a changeset and a snapshot?
Are you saying timestamps should be tracked separately or tracked by an scm system built on top of
git? Does/should git care about the when of a snapshot?
Perhaps my question is directed more toward gitweb.cgi, it seems to me the timestamp of when a
snapshot was merged into this repository should somehow be tracked and that is what gitweb.cgi
should default to display. For example, if someone wants to know if security bugfix X was merged
into linus' kernel tree they also want to know when that happened, don't they?
You are right that a "Merged Date:" in gitweb would be useful information to
show for each commit, but it's not straightforward given the design of git.
would it?
remember that a pach could be merged to many trees in any order. which merge
date do you want to know about?
