We plan to use this sequence number as a very fuzzy way of sorting test reports so that we can start looking for trends. While we know it won't result in a perfect ordering of changesets for reporting, it will help us get close. So if the new format isxen_changeset : Wed Sep 28 13:06:49 2005 +0100 7120:5e5ae8340956 This is a bad idea. If you want to compare two changesets, you already have the full date right in front of you! The revision number is a convenience for *local* operations, for example 'hg export 7033:7035'. It obviously should never be compared across different repositories "and just hope things work out ok." -- Hollis Blanchard IBM Linux Technology Center _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
