When I run `git diff`, I sometimes get it reporting that all (from what I can tell) files have changed, like a `find . -type f -exec touch {} \;` command was run. I was going to report this on a new thread, but this looks like a more relevant place to do so. My Windows machine is currently in Daylight Savings Time mode, and from my observations, I have only seen this repeat first thing the next day. I am not sure why, but every 24hrs, it looks as if the file time reported by and checked from git is different to that reported by stat. I have not had time yet to play around with the mingw port and this new stat implementation to see if it addresses this issue. - Reece - 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
