Unfortunately, this creates problems for distributed repositories and distributed developers. Gitblit 0.7.0 corrects this error by serializing dates to the [iso8601](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) standard. As a result 0.7.0 is not compatible with 0.6.0. A partial backwards-compatibility fallback was considered but it would only work one direction and since the federation mechanism is bidirectional it was not implemented. + ### Origin Gitblit Instance Requirements - *git.enableGitServlet* must be true, all Git clone and pull requests are handled through Gitblit's JGit servlet -- Gitblit v1.9.1
