You are working around the lack of orthogonality in the interface by tweaking things in the implementation. I think you are better to fix the interface, but support --date=local for historical reasons. IOW, git log --local-dates --date=short with git log --date=local as a historical synonym for git log --local-dates --date=default This makes the interface simpler to understand: --date remains a selector, and --date=local is a special case that new people don't need to think about or understand. -Peff -- 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
