Bug#778729: RFS: git-restore-mtime/1.0.0-1 [ITP]

[Adam Borowski <kilobyte@angband.pl>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Hi folks!

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "git-restore-mtime".

* Package name    : git-restore-mtime
  Version         : 1.0.0-1
  Upstream Author : Rodrigo Silva (MestreLion) <linux@rodrigosilva.com>
* URL             : https://github.com/MestreLion/git-tools
* License         : GPL3+
  Section         : vcs

It builds those binary packages:
  git-restore-mtime - set timestamps to the date of a file's last commit

The m.d.n page:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/git-restore-mtime

Dgettable .dsc:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/git-restore-mtime/git-restore-mtime_1.0.0-1.dsc

It's a tool that, when ran in a git repository, sets each file's mtime
to the date of most recent commit that changed that file -- ie, an
approximation of what mtimes are supposed to do.  This is nice when
making a release tarball, or if you're using git for storing something
else than a program's sources.

Actually, the upstream project name is "git-tools" as there's a bunch more
utilities included.  I dropped three that were obsolete or redundant, and
bundled three others, yet the package name I used reflects only what I
consider to be the main meat.  My reason is, the name "git-tools" is too
generic, and git-restore-mtime is what users would be looking for.
If you disagree with my judgement, please say so!


As the Supreme Species say,
