The only user for strptime is convert-objects, a program that should probably move to contrib/ anyway. It was used once, a long time ago, to convert from the old format, which hashed the compressed contents, to the current format, which hashes the contents _before_ compression. AFAIAC if a similar need should arise, the better alternative would be to write git-fast-export, a tool which dumps the contents of a repository suitable to pipe into git-fast-import. FWIW in mingw.git, we disabled convert-objects already a long time ago.
