Re: git and time

Ignoring the separate issue of replication for a momment, can someone respond to my time integrity
question about whether a future version of git could trust/prefer its local time rather than a
remote/sub/parent (non replicated) git server's timestamp? How do we fix gitweb.cgi, ref-log? How
useful is gitweb.cgi if timestamps are all over the place? It does not make sense that commit
order is currently out of sync with time order in the main linux kernel tree git repo on
kernel.org. Why must each and every repo be dependent on time being set properly on all other git
servers? How useful is change history or commit order without some concept of (local) time order?
