I've always found relative-date less useful than it could be, as it switched to coarser unit a bit too quickly, so this attempts to fine tune it to my liking. For example, earlier we said "3 weeks ago" if it is between 18 days and 24 days; now we do not say "weeks" if it is less than a month old. Earlier Updated X minutes ago < 90 minutes < 3 hours X hours ago < 36 hours < 3 days X days ago < 2 weeks < 1 month X weeks ago < 10 weeks < 10 weeks X months ago < 1 year < 2 1/2 years Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@xxxxxxx> --- * I will not strongly insist doing this, but the current setting is so annoying that I seldom use --relative-date, except when I look at reflog entries that are no older than a day. We probably could have --relative-date=90,36,14,70,360 (or .git/config equivalent) to further fine tune this, but I personally did not feel it is worth it. date.c | 10 +++++----- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/date.c b/date.c index a9b59a2..d2ea995 100644 --- a/date.c +++ b/date.c @@ -99,19 +99,19 @@ const char *show_date(unsigned long time, int tz, enum date_mode mode) } /* Turn it into minutes */ diff = (diff + 30) / 60; - if (diff < 90) { + if (diff < 180) { snprintf(timebuf, sizeof(timebuf), "%lu minutes ago", diff); return timebuf; } /* Turn it into hours */ diff = (diff + 30) / 60; - if (diff < 36) { + if (diff < 72) { snprintf(timebuf, sizeof(timebuf), "%lu hours ago", diff); return timebuf; } /* We deal with number of days from here on */ diff = (diff + 12) / 24; - if (diff < 14) { + if (diff < 35) { snprintf(timebuf, sizeof(timebuf), "%lu days ago", diff); return timebuf; } @@ -120,8 +120,8 @@ const char *show_date(unsigned long time, int tz, enum date_mode mode) snprintf(timebuf, sizeof(timebuf), "%lu weeks ago", (diff + 3) / 7); return timebuf; } - /* Say months for the past 12 months or so */ - if (diff < 360) { + /* Say months for the past 30 months or so */ + if (diff < 900) { snprintf(timebuf, sizeof(timebuf), "%lu months ago", (diff + 15) / 30); return timebuf; } -- 1.5.2.rc0.719.gb3626 - 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
