Keep files if only date time would change #26

Closed Remo closed 7 years ago

Remo commented 8 years ago

I've got a number of projects with a lot of languages and several translation files. Whenever I update them, I get a ton of changes, most of them only get a new header info Generated via "php artisan localization:missing" at 2016/03/07 15:19:58.

Do you have any reason why we shouldn't ignore those files completely? I'd suggest to keep the previous date time to avoid having unnecessary long commit logs.

Hi !

Sorry I am a little bit swamped these days, I will try to take a look on this problem. Indeed it is annoying for version control commits.

Hi @Remo,

why don't you use the --no-date option to avoid this ?

Remo commented 7 years ago

@potsky because it would be nice to have the dates, but I guess I can just ignore them and use my git log. I think it just looks odd because the default settings aren't ideal in my opinion, they create lots of changes, but --no-date is fine I think

@Remo,

In fact, to be honest, I really don't know why I have put this date in lang files!

It has nothing to do here from a logical point of view. The date is handled by the file modification date or by the CVS but not by the file data itself...
