test-chmtime: work around Windows limitation

2009-06-01T07:10:08Z

Windows has problems changing the mtime when the file is write protected, even by the owner of said file. Add a Windows-only workaround to change the mode if necessary before trying to change the mtime. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Steffen Prohaska Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Add --verbose|-v to test-chmtime

2008-10-31T07:19:52Z

This allows us replace perl when getting the mtime of a file because of time zone conversions, though at the moment only one platform which does this has been identified: Cygwin when used with ActiveState Perl (as usual). The output format is: TAB TAB ... which, if only mtime is needed can be parsed with cut(1): test-chmtime -v +0 filename1 | cut -f 1 Also, the change adds a description of programs features, with examples.

Add test-chmtime: a utility to change mtime on files

2007-02-25T19:09:56Z

This is intended to be a portable replacement for our usage of date(1), touch(1), and Perl one-liners in tests. Usage: test-chtime (+|=|-|=+|=-) ..." '+' increments the mtime on the files by '-' decrements the mtime on the files by '=' sets the mtime on the file to exactly '=+' and '=-' sets the mtime on the file to after or before the current time.
