The underlying data representation records time as number of seconds since epoch (1970-01-01). Theoretically the codepaths that read data could consider negative timestamps to represent times before the epoch, but in the context of source code control, negative values are more likely to be an indication of a bug or a user mistake, and I do not think any existing code in Git is prepared to pass such a timestamp as a sane value---instead they diagnose a failure and die. > I understand that this is rather an esoteric use case :) Yeah, this is pretty much outside of what we intend to support.
