No, I did not think it was a good idea to carve the behaviour in
stone that "git log --since=today" behaves as if it were given "git
log --since=now". My reaction would have been very different if we
were deliberatly and explicitly saying "today is synonym for now",
but the thing is, it is not a designed behaviour but what
approxidate does for anything it does not understand, e.g.
git log --since=decay
git log --since=bogus
all behave as if it were given --since=now.
