datalad check-dates - find repository dates that are more
recent than a reference date.
datalad check-dates [-h] [-D DATE]
[--rev REVISION] [--annex {all|tree|none}] [--no-tags]
[--older] [--version] [PATH ...]
The main purpose of this tool is to find "leaked" real
dates in repositories that are configured to use fake dates. It checks dates
from three sources: (1) commit timestamps (author and committer dates), (2)
timestamps within files of the "git-annex" branch, and (3) the
timestamps of annotated tags.
- PATH
- Root directory in which to search for Git repositories. The current
working directory will be used by default. Constraints: value must be a
string or value must be NONE
- -h, --help,
--help-np
- show this help message. --help-np forcefully disables the use of a pager
for displaying the help message
- -D DATE,
--reference-date DATE
- Compare dates to this date. If dateutil is installed, this value can be
any format that its parser recognizes. Otherwise, it should be a unix
timestamp that starts with a "@". The default value corresponds
to 01 Jan, 2018 00:00:00 -0000. Constraints: value must be a string
[Default: '@1514764800']
- --rev REVISION
- Search timestamps from commits that are reachable from REVISION. Any
revision specification supported by git log, including flags like --all
and --tags, can be used. This option can be given multiple times.
- --annex
{all|tree|none}
- Mode for "git-annex" branch search. If 'all', all blobs within
the branch are searched. 'tree' limits the search to blobs that are
referenced by the tree at the tip of the branch. 'none' disables search of
"git-annex" blobs. Constraints: value must be one of ('all',
'tree', 'none') [Default: 'all']
- --no-tags
- Don't check the dates of annotated tags.
- --older
- Find dates which are older than the reference date rather than newer.
- --version
- show the module and its version which provides the command
