This reminds me of the commit generation numbers thread. "But how can we determine ancestry?" "Use the commit timestamp." "But what if there are clock skews?" "Put in a slop." It breaks existing stuff, and it's hard to show any end-user benefit. I fear this proposal will meet with the same fate. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
