If not, should we simply be fixing that bug instead? I expect I won't be on the list for the rest of the day (I've started the preparation to tag -rc1), but I have two-and-half points before this discussion goes too far: - The "--reset-author" patch will be in 1.6.6 (it is already in 'master' yesterday, I think); - We should honor GIT_AUTHOR_DATE if --reset-author is given. - I _think_ we should ignore GIT_AUTHOR_DATE if --reset-author is not given, as --amend/-c/-C is stronger for being command line options than an environment variable. So I do not think --date is something we urgently need, even though it might be nice to have it to be consistent with --author. -- 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
