Subject: Reset sometimes updates mtime
Date: Thu, 09 Jul 2015 16:02:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1436450534.15519.49.camel@kaarsemaker.net> (raw)
I'm seeing some behaviour with git reset that I find odd. Basically if I
do
git fetch && \
git reset --hard simple-tag-that-points-to-the-current-commit
sometimes the reset will update the mtime of all files and directories
in the repo and sometimes it will leave them alone. Changing it to
git fetch && \
git status && \
git reset --hard simple-tag-that-points-to-the-current-commit
Cause the mtime update to reliably not happen.
Bad thing is that I am relying on the mtime updates not to happen if the
files don't actually change. Is this an assumption I can safely make? If
it is, then I'll debug further (e.g. I don't even know yet if the file
gets rewritten or just touched, why the index gets updated as well
etc.).
