No. I merely think git should try harder to ensure that commit order is consistent with time order, it really should (somehow) be impossible for git and gitweb.cgi to have commit dates ~2 days in the future. I think replication is a separate issue. In a distributed system the only "time" that makes any sense or is the most relevant in many situations and most importantly is the only thing that can be semi-trusted is local time. "Creation date" is basically just random text someone entered, there is no guarantee and you are tempting inconsistent time order. And git shouldn't be so fragile as to need each and every git server to have time set semi-correctly, but I guess it's a bigger deal to non-developers as we actually use time and also believe even web interfaces should have consistency and integrity. -Matt -Matt -Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
