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?
I do not know what Jeff meant by snapshot vs changeset, so I
would not comment on this part.
Me neither, but I've seen this distinction before on the mailing-list.
To my mind, a changeset is the patch that brings some form of data from
one state (snapshot) to another. In this respect, git is certainly both
snapshot- and changeset-based.
