Re: git and time

When did the merge happen? It happened at 8:30 on my machine, and that's 
what is recorded. End of story. No ifs, buts, maybes about it. That's the 
only time you can _ever_ see for that merge.

Ok, so it's more complex because of the workflow issue of delayed/pseudo mirroring/replication
between private and public repos? This cloning/replication is not done through git? Are you saying
it's impossible for master.kernel.org's git to track the local time of each
commit/merge/replication? Perhaps replication time is precisely what should/could be tracked
(locally)? 

From an integrity or at least gitweb.cgi's viewpoint it seems very important to me that commit

order also be per repo consistent with time order.
