Feel free to correct it. > It does, but the semantics isn't "negative". A quote: : All primaries which take a numeric argument allow the number : to be preceded by a plus sign (``+'') or a minus sign (``-''). : A preceding plus sign means ``more than n'', a preceding minus : sign means ``less than n'' and neither means ``exactly n''. So, -0s would mean that the difference between the current time and file's modification time is negative. > I would still prefer to have the test removed. > The reason it was added is to catch common cases of date/time being set to point to the past.
