Module Irmin.Info
Source
Commit info are used to keep track of the origin of write operations in the stores. Info
models the metadata associated with commit objects in Git.
Commit Info
The type for commit info.
date t
is t
's commit date.
The date provided by the user when calling the create function. Rounding Unix.gettimeofday ()
(when available) is a good value for such date. On more esoteric platforms, any monotonic counter is a fine value as well. On the Git backend, the date is translated into the commit Date field and is expected to be the number of POSIX seconds (thus not counting leap seconds) since the Epoch.
author t
is t
's commit author.
The author identifies the entity (human, unikernel, process, thread, etc) performing an operation. For the Git backend, this will be directly translated into the Author field.
