This is a corner of git of which I knew not. How does one set this sort of
alias? I Google...
Will git config --global alias.stamp = show -s --format='%cI!%ce
and analogous command lines work?
I think I understand what most of these are doing, but...you would be doing
a service to the world if you wrote a little shellscript that set these up,
with short explanatory comments reveraling what each is to be used for, like
this:
# sco - check out most recent commit with specified action stamp
I'd add that to the reposurgeon distribution in a heartbeat.
