Re: [PATCH] Make git blame date output format configurable, a la git log

[Eugene Letuchy <eletuchy@facebook.com>]

Hi Johannes,

Thanks for your feedback. Any comments on the .c changes?

I'll modify the commit message to read as follows:
"""

Add the following:
  - git config value blame.date that expects one of the git log date
    formats ({relative,local,default,iso,rfc,short})
  - git blame command line option --date-format expects one of the git
    log date formats ({relative,local,default,iso,rfc,short})
  - documentation in blame-options.txt
  - git blame uses the appropriate date.c functions and enums to
    make sense of the date format and provide appropriate data

The tests pass. The mailmap test needed to be modified to expect iso
formatted blames rather than the new "default".
