Thanks, applied.

Dear diary, on Thu, Jun 09, 2005 at 01:19:30PM CEST, I got a letter
where Dan Holmsand [off-list ref] told me that...

This makes showdate use the same date format as
git-rev-list --pretty, and gives some speedup. It might also
be more portable.

I dropped the format change bit, because I really think the Linus' date
format is bad. The current standardized, international and most widely
used (even your mailer agent used it in your Date: header) date format
is RFC 822, so please let's stick with it. It's perfect for our use, and
better human-readable too. The date part isn't split all around but
concentrated in the first half while the second half is dedicated to
time.

Ok, I really have nothing against RFC822. But if Linus' format is bad, 
then git-rev-list --pretty should be fixed (or, rather, date.c). It 
doesn't make any sense to me to have different formats between cogito 
and core git.

And I'd really, really like to use as much of git-rev-list --pretty 
output as possible in cg-log. That makes the whole thing some orders of 
magnitude faster, and thus more usable.

Note that this changes the calling convention: the previous
version used seconds from $1, but timezone from the global
variable $date. cg-mkpatch is modified to the new way.

You forgot to modify cg-log accordingly. (I fixed that.)

Thanks. I did the "hope he takes my other patch too" thing... Sorry 
'bout that.
