Event Timeline

That's not really a problem. For files, that delta is telling you when the file was seen for the first time. For directories, it tells you when the frontiers date, that should be greater or equal to all the content's. What we discussed yesterday should fix this mismatch but I insist, this is not a bug, it's the actual expected result with the current logic.

I understand that, it's just it can look very weird for someone not really in the project... not sure where to add a comment to make this clear (besides the commit message)

I may add the possibility to comment the synthetic file to make it easier to deal with this kind of stuff...
