Sorry for the duplication. Please ignore my patch, I'm not going to even try to compete with Mr Ts'o. I asked a friend who is a git developer why this wasn't available, he said it would be fairly easy to do, I asked if he was trying to suck me into contributing patches to git, he said yes. I neglected to search archives for myself. Besides "two independent submissions in short space of time" as evidence that this functionality is wanted, my real-world motivator was: `go get $something` failed, until I told the Golang tooling to update dependencies too; after that I wanted to easily see when the dependency was last updated on my local system and ended up having to look at the reflog on disk and manually convert timestamps. > To summarize, I think the conclusion there was that we would go with at > least the 't' and 'r' formatters in the short term.

Yes, I went for completeness even though it led to some duplication, and tested them all. Though it looks like I didn't include the --date modifications into the test-suite example. Oops.
