We used the approxidate() parser for "--expire=<timestamp>" options
of various commands, but it is better to treat --expire=all and
--expire=now a bit more specially than using the current timestamp.
Update "git gc" and "git reflog" with a new parsing function for
expiry dates.
* jc/prune-all:

api-parse-options.txt: document "no-" for non-boolean options
git-gc.txt, git-reflog.txt: document new expiry options
date.c: add parse_expiry_date()
"git reflog --expire=all" tries to expire reflog entries up to the
current second, because the approxidate() parser gives the current
timestamp for anything it does not understand (and it does not know
what time "all" means). When the user tells us to expire "all" (or
set the expiration time to "now"), the user wants to remove all the
reflog entries (no reflog entry should record future time).
Just set it to ULONG_MAX and to let everything that is older that
timestamp expire.
While at it, allow "now" to be treated the same way for callers that
parse expiry date timestamp with this function. Also use an error
reporting version of approxidate() to report misspelled date. When
the user says e.g. "--expire=mnoday" to delete entries two days or
older on Wednesday, we wouldn't want the "unknown, default to now"
logic to kick in.

The only place that the issue this series addresses was observed
where we read "cat-file commit" output and put it in GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
in order to replay a commit with an ancient timestamp.
With the previous patch alone, "git commit --date='20100917 +0900'"
can be misinterpreted to mean an ancient timestamp, not September in
year 2010. Guard this codepath by requring an extra '@' in front of
the raw git timestamp on the parsing side. This of course needs to
be compensated by updating get_author_ident_from_commit and the code
for "git commit --amend" to prepend '@' to the string read from the
existing commit in the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE environment variable.

The date-time parser parses out a human-readble datestring piece by
piece, so that it could even parse a string in a rather strange
notation like 'noon november 11, 2005', but restricts itself from
parsing strings in "<seconds since epoch> <timezone>" format only
for reasonably new timestamps (like 1974 or newer) with 10 or more
digits. This is to prevent a string like "20100917" from getting
interpreted as seconds since epoch (we want to treat it as September
17, 2010 instead) while doing so.
The same codepath is used to read back the timestamp that we have
already recorded in the headers of commit and tag objects; because
of this, such a commit with timestamp "0 +0000" cannot be rebased or
amended very easily.
Teach parse_date() codepath to special case a string of the form
"<digits> +<4-digits>" to work this issue around, but require that
there is no other cruft around the string when parsing a timestamp
of this format for safety.
Note that this has a slight backward incompatibility implications.
If somebody writes "git commit --date='20100917 +0900'" and wants it
to mean a timestamp in September 2010 in Japan, this change will
break such a use case.

When relative dates are more than about a year ago, we start
writing them as "Y years, M months". At the point where we
calculate Y and M, we have the time delta specified as a
number of days. We calculate these integers as:
Y = days / 365
M = (days % 365 + 15) / 30
This rounds days in the latter half of a month up to the
nearest month, so that day 16 is "1 month" (or day 381 is "1
year, 1 month").
We don't round the year at all, though, meaning we can end
up with "1 year, 12 months", which is silly; it should just
be "2 years".
Implement this differently with months of size
onemonth = 365/12
so that
totalmonths = (long)( (days + onemonth/2)/onemonth )
years = totalmonths / 12
months = totalmonths % 12
In order to do this without floats, we write the first formula as
totalmonths = (days*12*2 + 365) / (365*2)

When no timezone is specified, we deduce the offset by
subtracting the result of mktime from our calculated
timestamp.
However, our timestamp is stored as an unsigned integer,
meaning we perform the subtraction as unsigned. For a
negative offset, this means we wrap to a very high number,
and our numeric timezone is in the millions of hours. You
can see this bug by doing:
$ TZ=EST \
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='2010-06-01 10:00' \
git commit -a -m foo
$ git cat-file -p HEAD | grep author

approxidate_careful() reports errorneous date string
For a long time, the time based reflog syntax (e.g. master@{yesterday})
didn't complain when the "human readable" timestamp was misspelled, as
the underlying mechanism tried to be as lenient as possible. The funny
thing was that parsing of "@{now}" even relied on the fact that anything
not recognized by the machinery returned the current timestamp.
Introduce approxidate_careful() that takes an optional pointer to an

the callers do not take advantage of the error checking, but convert the

The previous patch to improve approxidate got us to the point that a lot
of the remaining annoyances were due to the 'strict' date handling running
first, and deciding that it got a good enough date that the approximate
date routines were never even invoked.
For example, using a date string like
6AM, June 7, 2009
the strict date logic would be perfectly happy with the "June 7, 2009"
part, and ignore the 6AM part that it didn't understand - resulting in the
information getting dropped on the floor:
6AM, June 7, 2009 -> Sat Jun 6 00:00:00 2009
and the date being calculated as if it was midnight, and the '6AM' having
confused the date routines into thinking about '6 June' rather than 'June
7' at 6AM (ie notice how the _day_ was wrong due to this, not just the
time).
So this makes the strict date routines a bit stricter, and requires that
not just the date, but also the time, has actually been parsed. With that
fix, and trivial extension of the approxidate routines, git now properly
parses the date as
6AM, June 7, 2009 -> Sun Jun 7 06:00:00 2009
without dropping the fuzzy time ("6AM" or "noon" or any of the other
non-strict time formats) on the floor.

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.

The date/time parsing code was confused if the input time HH:MM:SS is
followed by fractional seconds. Since we do not record anything finer
grained than seconds, we could just drop fractional part, but there is a
twist.
We have taught people that not just spaces but dot can be used as word
separators when spelling things like:
$ git log --since 2.days
$ git show @{12:34:56.7.days.ago}
and we shouldn't mistake "7" in the latter example as a fraction and
discard it.
The rules are:
- valid days of month/mday are always single or double digits.
- valid years are either two or four digits
No, we don't support the year 600 _anyway_, since our encoding is based
on the UNIX epoch, and the day we worry about the year 10,000 is far
away and we can raise the limit to five digits when we get closer.
- Other numbers (eg "600 days ago") can have any number of digits, but
they cannot start with a zero. Again, the only exception is for
two-digit numbers, since that is fairly common for dates ("Dec 01" is
not unheard of)
So that means that any milli- or micro-second would be thrown out just
because the number of digits shows that it cannot be an interesting date.
A milli- or micro-second can obviously be a perfectly fine number
according to the rules above, as long as it doesn't start with a '0'. So
if we have
12:34:56.123
then that '123' gets parsed as a number, and we remember it. But because
it's bigger than 31, we'll never use it as such _unless_ there is
something after it to trigger that use.
So you can say "12:34:56.123.days.ago", and because of the "days", that
123 will actually be meaninful now.

it should now be easy to add a command line flag (and possibly a config

The exact cut-off points when it switches from days to weeks etc are
totally arbitrary, but are picked somewhat to avoid the "1 weeks ago"
