Re: [git-users] git checkout file with custom mtime

The mtime of the files in my working copy change when I amend or rebase or checkout different branches or in general when I use git commands. I carefully store the mtime when these files are generated or overwritten and restore it when it is going to be read. The tool I use is https://packages.ubun

Hi Daniel (trimmed the cc, removing the Git List as they won't have seen these HTML emails.. I'd only added it to confirm their address and forgot to remove it, doh!) Yes, the 'git update-index --assume-unchanged' is confusing because actually it is a _user_ promise not to change things, so

Daniel, Do you use the Git LFS (Large File System) add-on?, are you on Windows or Linux?, and what tools need mtime (or is it something about the process of using the tool..)? The Git viewpoint is that the mtime shouldn't be important for the version storage & control aspects, though it may

Hi all, I have some large files tracked in git and I have to track their mtime because of some legacy software. With another tool I save and restore their mtime. When I restore their mtime git status rereads the files to update the mtime in the index. I would like to improve that because there
