Dear git community,
I encountered the following problem: When using the date formatting
option ISO (either by setting --date=iso or using format:%ci for the
committer date), the output is formatted like this:
2014-08-25 17:49:43 +0200
But according to ISO 8601, should be formatted like this (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime):
2014-08-25T17:49:43+02:00
This difference makes it impossible to use automated string conversion
(in my case, I tried to use Delphi's XSBuildIns
(http://wiert.me/2011/07/19/iso-8601-delphi-way-to-convert-xml-date-and-time-to-tdatetime-and-back-via-stack-overflow/),
which converted git's output "2014-08-25 17:49:43 +0200" to a TDateTime
of "2014-08-25 02:00:00"; conversion worked correctly when using
"2014-08-25T17:49:43+02:00" as input).
I therefore suggest to adapt the output when using --date=iso or
format:%ci to comply 100% with the ISO 8601 specs, or at least change
documentation to say the output is only "ISO-like".
Kind regards,
Oliver Busch
