Re: [PATCH] Make git blame date output format configurable, a la git log

Sigh. Make that:
"""
The mailmap test needed to be modified to expect iso formatted blames
rather than the new "default".

Hi Johannes,

Thanks for your feedback. Any comments on the .c changes?

I'll modify the commit message to read as follows:
"""

Add the following:
   - git config value blame.date that expects one of the git log date
     formats ({relative,local,default,iso,rfc,short})
   - git blame command line option --date-format expects one of the git
     log date formats ({relative,local,default,iso,rfc,short})
   - documentation in blame-options.txt
   - git blame uses the appropriate date.c functions and enums to
     make sense of the date format and provide appropriate data

The tests pass. The mailmap test needed to be modified to expect iso
formatted blames rather than the new "default".

Hi,

Disclaimer: if you are offended by constructive criticism, or likely to
answer with insults to the comments I offer, please stop reading this mail
now (and please to not answer my mail, either). :-)

Still with me?  Good.  Nice to meet you.

Just out of curiosity: why Cc: Marius?  I would have expected Junio, Git's
maintainer.

May I suggest the commit subject to say "as for git log"?  I mistook "a la
git log" for a change in the way git-blame works...

Adds the following:

We try to use the imperative form; from my experience it makes for an
easier read: "Add the following:"

The tests pass. The mailmap test needed to be modified to expect iso

IMHO the "The tests pass." should be removed.

Other than that, nicely done!

Ciao,
