i require maintaining an accurate record of the file and it's attributes - i consider that a part of the reason the file exists to begin with (otherwise why have a different file at all?). if you change a file, do a git commit then go back later and do a git restore of a different version it will not restore the file attributes of that version. so while i expect to see the right date and time stamp on a file that has been restored it isn't what happens. and no, i don't considering catering to make being broken or needing to use a time stamp to keep track of changed file a requirement, if i personally need to rebuild a project and i'm using git i would make sure to have things properly cleaned up so that it would work without me having to not properly record the file attributes (or to restore them if i need to use a different version). in my recent case of git screwing me over i had a series of files in several directories all with proper dates and time stamps and i forgot about git being a git and did a git restore and every subdirectory was corrupted and i had to go back and restore them again (and then i removed that project from using git so i'd not do it again). songbird
