Support 'raw' date format
Talking about --date, one thing I wanted for the 1234567890 date was to get things in the raw format. Sure, you get them with --pretty=raw, but it felt a bit sad that you couldn't just ask for the date in raw format. So here's a throw-away patch (meaning: I won't be re-sending it, because I really don't think it's a big deal) to add "--date=raw". It just prints out the internal raw git format - seconds since epoch plus timezone (put another way: 'date +"%s %z"' format) Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
