Hi,
The file system modification time as accessed by {{{modification-time}}}
is often wrong, e.g. when a project is newly cloned or if the file has
been copied in a sloppy manner. At least if modification time suggest the
time that the file was edited by an author.
Sometimes vc can provide a better answer. The attached patch tries to get
a sensible time from vc.
Caveats:
- There’s no customization. I think that’s fine. If someone feels
strongly against this behavior a defcustom could be added or we could
add another a macro, {{{vc-modification-time}}}.
- org-macs will depend on vc. I don’t really see why this would be an
issue as vc is bundled with Emacs.
I have only tested this with git, but it should work with other vc
backends to the extend that ‘parse-time-string’ can handle the way they
format dates.
WDYT?
Rasmus
