Re: [PATCH] commit: use timestamp_t for author_date_slab

Derrick Stolee [off-list ref] writes:

The author_date_slab is used to store the author date of a commit
when walking with the --author-date flag in rev-list or log. This
was added as an 'unsigned long' in

	81c6b38b "log: --author-date-order"

Since 'unsigned long' is ambiguous in its bit-ness across platforms
(64-bit in Linux, 32-bit in Windows, for example), most references
to the author dates in commit.c were converted to timestamp_t in

	dddbad72 "timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps"

However, the slab definition was missed,

Makes sense, and obviously correct.

I found this while reading up on the revision-walk machinery. This code
hasn't been touched in years, so could apply to 'maint'.

Thanks.
