git-restore-mtime 2019.11-1 (arm64 binary) in ubuntu focal
This utility can set timestamps in a git checkout to the last commit that
changes a given file. This is useful whenever meaningful mtimes are wanted,
as "last change" is better than "last checkout". Use cases include syncing
timestamps on a web server's contents, preparing a release tarball, etc.
Pretty much, every scenario other than an unclean source tree where you're
about to type "make" without "make clean".
.
When called from a .git/hooks/
of Subversion's "use-commit-times".
.
Unlike metastore, git restore-mtime gives you only commit times rather than
the true original timestamp; on the other hand it works retroactively and
doesn't require a manual action by every contributor in every working copy.
.
This package includes three other utilities:
* git clone-subset - clones only some files from a repository (inc. history)
* git find-uncommitte
* git strip-merge - filters away some files during a merge
