This patch came from submitGit, and there's a bit more at: https://github.com/git/git/pull/433 (though obviously that informatoin should go into the commit message). We do parse expiration dates from config in a few places, like gc.reflogexpire, etc. There's no way for a script using git-config to do the same (either adding an option specific to the script, or trying to do some analysis on gc.reflogexpire). -Peff
