[PATCH] Use standard -t option for touch.

From
Simon 'corecode' Schubert <corecode@fs.ei.tum.de>
Date

Message-ID
<20070118102814.0C32FA914@diphong.localdomain>

Non-GNU touch do not have the -d option to take free form date strings. The POSIX -t option should be more widespread. For this to work, date needs to output YYYYMMDDHHMM.SS date strings.
