There are a number of commits marked as 3 days ago. It's only a little bit better than no information at all: or doesn't tell me if they happened in the morning or in the afternoon, or all within an hour or spread on all the day. That's important when I didn't logged how many hours I worked for a customer and I have to assess it one week later. I have to click every single commit and check the timestamp on the other side of the screen.
- mpweiher 3y ago> ... screenshot ... And screenshots are, IMHO, one important reason it should always be the full date.
- ranting-moth 3y agoWow, what the screenshot is showing is a candidate for a professional misconduct if we had a governing body.
- jquast 3y agoAlso that git timestamps are localized to each individual developer and are not validated, it can make global development more difficult. https://alesnosek.com/blog/2017/01/02/git-getting-the-timing-right/ https://alesnosek.com/blog/2017/01/02/git-getting-the-timing...
- MaxBarraclough 3y agoI'm surprised that there seems to be no way to configure gitg to always show full datetimes.
- drpixie 3y agoOutlook webmail is pretty bad. Not only does it do the "... days ago" thing, but it wants to show what it regards are important at the top. So you get two partly duplicated lists, partially shuffled together - it's horrible x 2.
