Fossil doesn't actually remember a file's real modification time. Instead it computes it based on the time of the checkin the file was most recently in. The point about makefiles was discussed at length some years ago, and IIRC the decision was that the current behaviour is the only way to avoid problems with things _not_ being rebuilt if fossil set an old date on them. e.g. if i revert my main.c to a version from 2 days ago and then run make, i most definitely want it to rebuild that file. The only way to do that, without requiring a 'clean', is for fossil to update to the current timestamp. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
