hi
i found a minor bug in the handling of the
environment variable GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
i used this variable to import an old project.
i used "stat" to get the timestamp of a file
and set the git history to this date with
this command:
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE=`stat -c '%y' "$FILE"`
old files (created with an older kernel)
produced this output.
2008-05-28 14:21:35.000000000 +0200
but new files return nanosecond resolution
timestamps.
2008-06-04 17:25:54.917476713 +0200
of course this resolution is NOT needed
for git, but git DOES NOT ignore this time-
stamps. it changes the date to something
completly wrong :-/
steps to reproduce:
$ git init
$ touch test
$ stat -c %y test
2008-08-16 22:25:45.491701924 +0200
$ export GIT_AUTHOR_DATE=`stat -c %y test`
$ git add test
$ git commit -a
$ git log
