Appeal to respect the development history and time tracking

[Mosc]

Hi there.

 

Don’t touch date and time stamps of the files and directories, never, even
after formatting (because it is just formatting). Perfect tool must
accurately save and accurately restore creation and modification date and
time of the files and directories, and even last access date and time
(surely if the file system support it). Don’t be stupid and stubborn monkeys
like other, be better and make the tool with feature that is very important
for people (representatives of the «Homo sapiens» species), because time is
a fundamental measure of real efficiency for development and life at all.
Remember, that aging is irreversibly and only fools don’t value the time and
consider it unimportant.

 

At least add warning that all the date and time stamps of all files and all
directories would be destroyed forever after using Mercurial SCM.

 

With best regards, Mosc.

 

P. S. I’m very disappointed that the most of HG users (and other VCSs)
consider the date and time stamps of the files and directories unimportant.
There is very significant difference between just sitting on a chair (what
actually is tracking by the most of the time-tracking systems) and the real
creation (of something useful).
