Re: [PATCH] format-patch: use current date in mbox 'From COMMIT DATE' header line

Please no.  It is useful that format-patch generates the same output when
run a few times in a row. If it is important to have a realistic date,
would the commit date or similar work?

Yes, sure: s/time(NULL)/commit->date/ works equally well for me.

Best wishes,
