I have actually wanted something like this quite badly. Not so much for timestamps (though that would be nice), but it would be useful if each commit could carry a fossil-ID attribute that points at the Subversion commit it was derived from. I've tried to make notes work for this, but couldn't beat it into doing what I was after. Shawn, is there a way that the import stream syntax can declare a note with in-line data attached to the commit where it's declared? I tried just using the mark of the current commit, but git throws an error because it thinks that mark is not yet declared when the note fileop is parsed. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.
