It would be great for : situations where we currently use it, and it's also be great for bug : reports. That's been discussed to death, but you can't use the results of 'date' to do it, and it causes horrible repo churn if you commit a change like this every day to multiple branches. In short, it sounds good, but when you go to actually implement you discover that it really is lame. Warner
