|
10 r''' |
|
11 Some commands (backout, commit, tag) allow the user to specify a date. |
|
12 Possible formats for dates are: |
|
13 |
|
14 YYYY-mm-dd \HH:MM[:SS] [(+|-)NNNN]:: |
|
15 This is a subset of ISO 8601, allowing just the recommended notations |
|
16 for date and time. The last part represents the timezone; if omitted, |
|
17 local time is assumed. Examples: |
|
18 |
|
19 "2005-08-22 03:27 -0700" |
|
20 |
|
21 "2006-04-19 21:39:51" |
|
22 |
|
23 aaa bbb dd HH:MM:SS YYYY [(+|-)NNNN]:: |
|
24 This is the date format used by the C library. Here, aaa stands for |
|
25 abbreviated weekday name and bbb for abbreviated month name. The last |
|
26 part represents the timezone; if omitted, local time is assumed. |
|
27 Examples: |
|
28 |
|
29 "Mon Aug 22 03:27:00 2005 -0700" |
|
30 |
|
31 "Wed Apr 19 21:39:51 2006" |
|
32 |
|
33 unixtime offset:: |
|
34 This is the internal representation format for dates. unixtime is |
|
35 the number of seconds since the epoch (1970-01-01 00:00 UTC). offset |
|
36 is the offset of the local timezone, in seconds west of UTC (negative |
|
37 if the timezone is east of UTC). |
|
38 Examples: |
|
39 |
|
40 "1124706420 25200" (2005-08-22 03:27:00 -0700) |
|
41 |
