Hello,

I was just playing with gitstat (http://tree.celinuxforum.org/gitstat/) to see if it give some nice graphs for Wine as well (on my local box).
I can see all the tags but for some reason a lot of tags (from wine-0.0.2 to wine-0.7 and after that wine-940201 to wine-980927, so basically every tag before Alexandre's "Initial revision") have nearly the same tagger/author date (around November 30th 2005). This messes up the ordering of the tags.
That's probably when Wine migrated to git and Alexandre imported the history from CVS. A lot of projects will have the same problem if they migrated from something else to git.
Is there something I can do about this? (man git-tag tells me one shouldn't change tags afterwards).
A possible solution would be to have gitstat check the commit referenced by the tag; that one has the right date. E.g "tag wine-0.0.2" references "commit 2c25c3e9442c69bd2402f94f264f0aafa58b00e0" which has as "CommitDate: Tue Jun 29 16:33:12 1993 +0000".
(I've changed the necessary perl-script to only include the tags that are correct so I do have some output).
