Well, it is not a valid query ;-) Nobody implemented --since
yet, but you could spell it --max-age.  It would not grok "2
weeks ago" though.

Have you tried it? 

"--since" _works_.

All the magic is in "git-rev-parse". Try it.

With the attached patch, you could at least do:

	git log --max-age='2005-10-25' v0.99.8..v0.99.9 Makefile

No. Really. _try_ it. You can do

	git log --since="September 25"

And ItJustWorks(tm).

No patches needed. Anywhere. It's worked for quite a long time too. Since 
commit c1babb1d65e034a058c14379eabec8eb374757ca, to be exact.

    [PATCH] Teach "git-rev-parse" about date-based cut-offs

Just use it.
