[PATCH 2/3] t0006: test various date formats

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date
Jun 20, 2016, 21:11 UTC
Message-ID
<20160620211158.GA15521@sigill.intra.peff.net>
In-Reply-To
<20160620210901.GE3631@sigill.intra.peff.net>

We ended up testing some of these date formats throughout the rest of the suite (e.g., via for-each-ref's "$(authordate:...)" format), but we never did so systematically. t0006 is the right place for unit-testing of our date-handling code.
