Photos and the like need absolute timestamps more than source code which is fine with relative timestamps (local builds & updates). Maintaining global timestamps for source code could even cause a lot of unwanted effects. As it is, this issue is the only, but a major, blocker for me before I can start adapting git-annex. As I have three different use cases for it, this is a shame. Unfortunately, I don't speak any Haskell so scratching my own itch isn't do-able (without major effort and not soon, at least). Is there a realistic chance that you will tackle this nonetheless or is this WONTFIX? -- RichiH
