autotag dates off #10

Closed trans closed 13 years ago

Autotag feature is loosing a day on release dates.

trans commented 13 years ago

As it turns out, the problem is not that the day is off by one, but that the tag history is using the commit date that tag references, rather than the date of tagging itself. In a way this makes sense, since technically tagging could be done at any time. It takes the burden of the tagger to adjust the tag date. On the other hand, it means actual release dates and history dates won't match up.

This has been fixed. The commit date is being used for comparison between the tag and other commits, but the tag date is used in the history output. This means the tag date is important!
