This is not a new failure mode - approxidate has always been kind of random in the input it accepts, but some of the randomness is more irritating than others. For example: Jun 6, 5AM -> Mon Jun 22 05:00:00 2009 5AM Jun 6 -> Sat Jun 6 05:00:00 2009 Whaa? The reason for the above is that approxidate squirrells away the '6' from "Jun 6" to see if it's going to be a relative number, and then forgets about it when it sees a new number (the '5' in '5AM'). So the odd "June 22" date is because today is July 22nd, and if it doesn't have another day of the month, it will just pick todays mday - having ignored the '6' entirely due to getting all excited about seeing a new number (5). There are other oddnesses. This does not fix them all, but I think it makes for fewer _really_ perplexing cases. At least now we have Jun 6, 5AM -> Sat Jun 6 05:00:00 2009 5AM, Jun 6 -> Sat Jun 6 05:00:00 2009 which makes me happier. I can still point to cases that don't work as well, but those are separate issues. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
