Is there a simple and current “here is how to try this code and what
it will do for you” document?

In my imagination such a document is about three lines, including an
example. :)

Could you revert the tip of this one?  What remains is a good
cleanup (+ change in --dry-run output for consistency), I think.

There was no positive feedback about suppressing the status summary.
I am afraid it might be a bad idea; I’d be happy if people have other
ideas for making the output friendlier.

Should I resend with these two ejected into a separate series?

I’ll try to find time to investigate and publish conflict-resolution
branches.

I didn’t notice the existing parse-date-basic branch.  Sorry about
that.
