So I should add that my gripe is about when I want to send a > patch series with git-send-email that was prepared with git-format-patch. Hmph. Don't you get fresh timestamps for your messages in such a case, ignoring whatever is at the beginning of the input files? My reading of git-send-email is: * "$time = time - scalar $#files" prepares the initial "timestamp", so that running two "git send-email" back to back will give timestamps to the series sent out by the first invocation that are older than the ones the second series will get; * "sub send_message" calls "format_2822_time($time++)" to send the first message with that initial "timestamp", incrementing the timestamps by 1 second intervals (without having to actually wait 1 second in between messages) for each patch. -- 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
