+After some months, I just updated my local ikiwiki sources, and rebuilt
+the Hurd web pages, <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/web.git/>.

+I was confused, having switched to the new automatic (thanks!) --gettime
+mechanism, why on some pages the timestamps had changed compared to my
+previous use of --getctime and setting files' mtimes (using a script)
+according to the last Git commit. For example:
+
+community/weblogs/ArneBab/2008-08-02-gnu_hurd_and_x.html

+I had a look at what git.pm is doing, and began to manually replay /
+investigate:

+
+So, merges are involved there.
+
+What (the new) ikiwiki code does, is use the timestamp when the merge was
+done instead of the timestamp when the commit was done. Is this
+intentional? Otherwise I could supply a patch.
