Bill, I wish you would stop calling things bogus without doing the
research why this is the default.
That's reasonable; does anyone want to point me to the thread
that justified this as the best-choice default? [I suspect I
asked about this once before.]
I remember it was a long one, but I don't have a pointer handy
at this point.
Back to httpd land; the question is --- is this the right choice
for *our tarballs*? Which may or may not be related to the question
above. In any case; this is useful metadata even for end users who
build the package for the reasons I mentioned; does anyone have
a desire/justification to lose the commit dates and use the RM's
checkout date?
Note that the scripts use svn export. IIRC that does default to use
the last commit time, but I could be wrong.
