I see "Tree-View" or "File Ages" but the listing of "ages" seems to be relative to the last commit time. A related sidebar: fossil doesn't actually store the creation- or modification times of files. The only timestamps it remembers are when changes are made to the repository (a checkin, wiki/ticket edit, new tag applied to a commit, etc.). When fossil tells you the age of a file, it's really showing you the timestamp of the commit which most recently modified that file.
I see. I was mistakenly under the impression that fossil would preserve the timestamps on a checkout so that 'make' would work correctly. I didn't think about the fact that one does not store the intermediate or targets of a build in the repository -- one builds from scratch and when a product is shelved for a while, one just does a final commit, closes the repository and deletes the checkout.
That clears things up. Thanks. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
