Git does display the author date by default. It's the committer date that it does not. ;) At least according to my testing and its man page for --pretty=medium: commit <hash> Author: <author> Date: <author-date> > rebase -l / histedit -l. These features were designed for this exact > use case, where revisiting older states of branches becomes necessary. FWIW, I was considering these backups transient, assuming they would sooner or later vanish through -X. Anyway, I guess this is a tangent. > Or these tests could use some suitable invocation of 'git log' to > ensure that Got preserves the timestamp as intended. I'm guessing you'd rather not see a new option to 'got log' that shows the author time? Are you happy with '@' in tog toggling to both author name and date? > Would you be willing to work on those suggested changes yourself? I would. I'll try to get an updated patch prepared over the weekend. :) -p
