o that they're pointers to commits that don't require anything but the target commit's import/export-stream metadata to resolve. Your idea of an archived hash registry makes me extremely nervous; I think it's too fragile to trust. So let me back up a step. I will cheerfully drop advocating bumping timestamps if anyone can tell me how a different way to define a per-commit reference cookie that (a) is unique within its repo, and (b) only requires metadata visible in the fast-export representation of the commit. -- http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.

'. That really would require a common timebase. But I don't need that stronger property, because the purpose of totally ordering the repo is to guararantee the uniqueness of action stamps. For that, all I need is to be able to generate a unique cookie for each commit that can be inserted in its action stamp. For my use cases that cookie should *not* be a hash, because hashes always break N years down. It should be an eternally stable product of the commit metadata. -- http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.
