Dear diary, on Thu, Jun 09, 2005 at 01:19:30PM CEST, I got a letter where Dan Holmsand told me that... > This makes showdate use the same date format as > git-rev-list --pretty, and gives some speedup. It might also > be more portable. I dropped the format change bit, because I really think the Linus' date format is bad. The current standardized, international and most widely used (even your mailer agent used it in your Date: header) date format is RFC 822, so please let's stick with it. It's perfect for our use, and better human-readable too. The date part isn't split all around but concentrated in the first half while the second half is dedicated to time. > Note that this changes the calling convention: the previous > version used seconds from $1, but timezone from the global > variable $date. cg-mkpatch is modified to the new way. You forgot to modify cg-log accordingly. (I fixed that.) -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ be careful, some twit might quote you out of context..
