In log-tree.c: printf("From %s Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001\n", name);
Wouldn't it be more aesthetically pleasing to use current local or UTC time?
Or at least comment in the code that the date is hardwired like that
in the fear that otherwise people will think it is the actual commit time.
No, I can't think of any other tool that hardwires the From separators
they produce.
