Hello. I know this is not standard usage of git, but I need a way to have more stable dates and times in the files in order to avoid rsync checksumming. So I found this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2179722/checking-out-old-file-with-original-create-modified-timestamps/2179876#2179876 and modified it a bit to run in CentOS 7: IFS=" " for FILE in $(git ls-files -z | tr '\0' '\n') do TIME=$(git log --pretty=format:%cd -n 1 --date=iso -- "$FILE") touch -c -m -d "$TIME" "$FILE" done Unfortunately it takes ages for a 84k files repo. I see the CPU usage is dominated by the git log command. I know a way I could use to split the work for all the CPU threads but anyway, I would like to know if you guys and girls know of a faster way to do this. Also I know of other utilities that store the metadata in Git, but I am trying to avoid that for the moment. Thanks a lot in advance! Have a nice day. P.s.: please Cc replies to me. -- Ivan Baldo - ibaldo@xxxxxxxxx - http://ibaldo.codigolibre.net/ Freelance C++/PHP programmer and GNU/Linux systems administrator. The sky isn't the limit!
