Is this the worst date format ever?
- eesmith 9y agoAccording to doc/csv.texinfo: It is stored in the format used by the ISO C asctime() function (for example, @samp{Sun Apr 7 01:29:26 1996}). For more fun, doc/cvs.texinfo also says: One more note: In output, CVS should consistently use one date format, and that format should be one that it accepts in input as well. The former isn't really true (see survey below), and I'm not sure that either of those formats is accepted in input. cvs log current 1996/01/02 13:45:31 Internet 02 Jan 1996 13:45:31 UT ISO 1996-01-02 13:45:31 cvs ann current 02-Jan-96 Internet-like 02 Jan 96 ISO 96-01-02 cvs status current Tue Jun 11 02:54:53 1996 Internet [Tue,] 11 Jun 1996 02:54:53 ISO 1996-06-11 02:54:53 note: date possibly should be omitted entirely for other reasons. cvs editors current Tue Jun 11 02:54:53 1996 GMT cvs history current 06/11 02:54 +0000 any others?
