-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It seems like that the place holders %ad and %cd do not respect the - --date= option when used as part of the export substitution. In my file I have the place holder $Format:%ad$ and in .git/config the setting log.date = short is present. I can very this the date setting by running git log --pretty=format:%ad and I get: 2011-03-03 2011-02-28 2011-02-28 2011-02-28 2011-02-28 Now if I run on the same repo git archive --format=zip HEAD -o out.zip and check the place holder in the exported zip file it is actually replaced with: Thu, 3 Mar 2011 10:06:43 +0100 and not 2011-03-03 The same happens with the place holder %cd /Dietmar/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iJwEAQECAAYFAk1vX6gACgkQCXG8gXafJGFfHwQApYJ/y0bS0D97fMKGjjBjjZQv sOrPbwxIaPII2RGeRqxlQLjDL2kYnXHObTor+3rLWbNHLXPjjPw/2r4YIeCxz/f+ vA8ro9o4dTAyvGiUc/xUhu/U4XaVuV4Rl3QX83oaGmuefHRGc5/esex4R4mnzVdW QBPVvqqs25gyiu7zV6s= =lVtM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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
