O.K., so the "generation number v2 (legacy)" would be incremental and
backward-compatibile in use (though not in generation and validation).

Do you have benchmark for this "monotonically offset corrected commit
date" generation number in https://github.com/derrickstolee/git/commits/reach-perf
and https://github.com/derrickstolee/gen-test ?

I guess this will have to wait...

I have not had time to revisit this topic and re-run performance
numbers, sorry.

I have created pull requests against `reach-perf` branch of
derrickstolee/git repository[1], and companion pull request against
gen-test repository[2] with proposed prototype of backward-compatible
corrected commit date (with monotonic offsets).

Could you please run the tests for this generation number v5?

I'll try to get to this, but it may take a few days.

I was not
able to do so.  It was my first time trying to compile Git on MS
Windows, and while there were no problems compiling `master` (well,
except for compilation taking a long time), I was unable to do it for
`reach-perf` branch because of independent of change compilation errors.

I don't think I tested this on Windows. I do most of my performance tests
in Linux, especially when presenting numbers to the mailing list. The
gen-test repo has a bunch of shell scripts that I used for testing in
that environment.

Thanks,
