It's not clear to me. Do you really _like_ seeing them both, or did you simply want to see local dates in the iso format, but those two options (which are conceptually orthogonal) could not be used at the same time? If the latter, then maybe we should resurrect the patch that allows "--date=local --date=iso" to do what you want. From this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/112026 If the former, then should the options be orthogonal? That is, should it be a new format combining the two, or should it be an option to show, in your preferred format, the time in both local and original time zones? E.g., something like: $ git log --date=iso --local-dates-too commit bf01a69ed40e1afcf56aff143f7523da2ce263ed Author: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@xxxxxx> Date: 2009-10-04 00:41:55 +0200 Local: 2009-10-03 17:41:55 -0500 And then you can use it with "normal" dates, iso dates, rfc2822 dates, etc. I dunno. I have to admit I never personally really wanted anything except the default date format, unless I was parsing it for something special. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
