I was curious so I searched the repo, the only mentions of this flag boil down to people being confused about there being two dates, and being okay with the current behavior.
- 1718627440 1y agoAre you talking about Git or JJ?
- steveklabnik 1y agoI'm talking about jj.
- 1718627440 1y agoDid it sound like an explicit decision from jj or just being inherited from Git?
- steveklabnik 1y agoThe jj git backend happens to update only one of the two timestamps. There's not a lot of talk about the author date on the jj issue tracker. I did not dig into the history of the code, so I can't say if it was an explicit design decision or just how it was implemented. Since there hasn't been a lot of demand to change anything here, I didn't see any active discussion about the choice. EDIT: oh I see martin has said 'we just followed git' here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45599741 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45599741
