So the separate action of replication is not tracked? Replication/sub merges are denied the
possibility of "truth"?

To be clear I think there are actually two separate though semi-related issues:

- 1. release/replication time of a mirrored private --> public repo

- 2. A repo's commit order being inconsistent with local time order

My questions are primarily focused on #2. Last weekend even your private repo's commit order was
out of sync with your local time order because a remote git server's time was grossly
misconfigured, right? Integrity wise that shouldn't happen. I am merely asking if tracking
commits/merges using local repo time could solve both issues? If the local merge time information
is already available in the ref-log then gitweb.cgi might only need to be made aware of it.
