Hello, While working here with Veronica on importing the history of Ring, I found some strange behaviour in Monticello. Veronica and Stéphane were working on Ring at CAMP Smalltalk in Edinburgh; Stéphane already changed his time zone to GMT time; Veronica did not. As a result, there is a commit of a package from Stéphane at 6pm that has as an ancestor a package from Veronica at 7pm. It looks like Monticello uses the timestamp of the computer from which the package was published; not the timestamp from the computer. Given that people are working on the same code from all across the world, this can be a bit counter-intuitive. Shouldn't Monticello use the timestamp from the server? Kind regards, Andy
