Yeah, that part is easy. I wasn't sure the best way to handle places where a constant date_mode is used e.g.:

pp_user_info(NULL, CMIT_FMT_EMAIL, &sb, committer, DATE_RFC2822,
		     encoding);

I had started on:

static const struct date_mode date_rfc2822 = {DATE_RFC2822, DATE_ORIGINAL};
...
pp_user_info(NULL, CMIT_FMT_EMAIL, &sb, committer, &date_rfc2822,
		     encoding);

But I imagine there's maybe a better way to do that.
