You have test scripts already, but you say it is untested? I often wanted to have an opposite of what Christian wants. I always have some changes I am holding off, and when I decide to trickle them out to the main repository, I do not want the resulting commit to carry old dates that are recorded in the format-patch output. Instead I want to pretend that I worked on them today. Is this something you can teach git-am and git-rebase to do easily? -- Nanako Shiraishi http://ivory.ap.teacup.com/nanako3/ -- 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
