Yeah. It is even plausible to extend --date further so that we can express things like --date='%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y' --date='%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y %z' The former would be equivalent to --date[-format]=local, the latter would be equivalent to --date[-format]=default. Or something like that [warning: without morning caffeine yet] :-) -- 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
