    Nope, that's against how BK works. It's really distributed, so "my" tree
    has no special meaning, and as such the fact that I pull has no meaning
    either - it doesn't trigger as anything special.

    The only thing that ends up being special is when it hits the public tree
    which has the trigger to send out the emails. IOW, the date of the _email_
    is special (in that it says when a commit hit the public tree), not not
    the commits changesets themselves.

    Now, if James trigger scripts set the date of the email by the date of the
    commit, that sounds like a misfeature, but you'd better talk to James, not
    me, since he's the one doing that part..
