Time doesn't match log

Time doesn't match log

Yes it's probably not handling the locale / time zone information correctly.

Also sounds like a bug in the loop behavior when it reaches the end of the log.

Thanks for the report.

I see this as well. The problem becomes more pronounced if you allow for less 
than 1
second per
day:http://github.com/dscho/Gource/commit/271e3d16c98c85da35973bba89fbde2b7949fc

Running it on our 9 year old CVS repository. The log file from cvs-exp is 25MB.
Running it with 0.01 seconds per day, so it should only take ~30 seconds. 
However, it
takes a lot longer. The timestamp at the top is up to 2061 as I type this. The
progress bar always has the correct timestamp though. 

Very cool tool though. Our office is about to enter a huge debate about what 
version
control system to use (switching from CVS so anything is better). But the tool 
is
helping me to see interesting activity patterns.

I think I've fixed the bug in the looping behavior. It should correctly reset 
to the
start of the log now.

I'm not sure there's a bug in the time display:

There is some amount of artistic license with the speed at which the user 
avatars
move and do commits so that you can see what's going on. For instance, a commit 
of
100 files while in reality happened instantly instead it is spread out over 5-10
seconds you can see 'hey that guy is really busy' and actually see what they're
doing. Replaying the log really fast (small values of seconds-per-day) fast will
naturally exacerbate this.

If you want realistic commit times, perhaps use --seconds-per-day 86400 
(real-time)
with --auto-skip-seconds 1 (so it skips ahead if nothing is going on).

good, I suggest you to write that on the documentation :)
because I will not be the only one noticing avatars working at night :P

thanks for the suggestion and compliments for the software
