I have actually wanted something like this quite badly. Not so much
for timestamps (though that would be nice), but it would be useful if
each commit could carry a fossil-ID attribute that points at the
Subversion commit it was derived from.
I've tried to make notes work for this, but couldn't beat it into
doing what I was after. Shawn, is there a way that the import stream
syntax can declare a note with in-line data attached to the commit where
it's declared?
I tried just using the mark of the current commit, but git throws an error
because it thinks that mark is not yet declared when the note fileop
is parsed.
