forgive me for ranting a little about git: it really frustrates me that, in large projects, the author dates on commits are usually wrong, and sometimes wildly off (by weeks or months).
as I see it there’s two main problems:
• git commit --amend doesn’t update the author date by default (and few people know of the --reset-author flag)
• git rebase’s squashing behaviour takes the earliest author date, not the latest
I’m probably going to have to submit a patch to git to try to fix this…
