Just to be clear, what this would involve is for every file in the repo, Git would have to extract the HEAD version into a temporary file (or memory buffer) then compare it to what's currently in the work tree. I'm not saying that such a thing should be impossible; adding some kind of flag that does this sort of 100% reliable check could be useful. But, it's not surprising that no one would want to use such a flag (and hence why it's not implemented now). Of course, you could write a script that would do this yourself, and explicitly "git add" any file determined to be changed. I wonder if it wouldn't be simpler to just modify the tool you're using so it doesn't reset the timestamp on the file in the first place... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
