Bigbro's foray into the scary world of blogging
...don't mix too well. See, subversion doesn't respect the timestamps on files, and blosxom requires files to have their original timestamps to put them in chronological order. Fortunately, subversion thought of this, and allows setting of svn property 'use-commit-times' to allow the very behaviour that Blosxom relies on, kind of, a bit. Unfortunately, I'm trying to version control a blog with hundreds of entries over the last almost 4 years - and commit them all at the same time. That means that subversion thinks I wrote all my blog entries today. Flattering, but not really true.
For now I've written a tiny scipt that stores and restores the timestamps of all my various .txt files - but perhaps tomorrow I'll contemplate a more elegant way of making things work...
