Judging from the response to my rfc, I probably made a mistake in posting it without considerable forethought. At that point in time, I thought that it would be more 'informative' were we to include the different properties to allow users to look up when the file/directory was added (imported, committed, merged, etc). Given your comment, I suppose the required work (as implied by the RFC) is probably far less effective/efficient in dev time usage. > > I think Philip's example was assuming that 'foo' was a versioned file > that was checked out, and this step is modifying its mtime but not its > content, and wondering what status that would show and what would happen > at commit time. My bad. I had misunderstood his post. Edmund
