"... in the internal raw Git format `%s %z` format." was clunky in
repeating "format" twice, and would not have helped those who do not
immediately get that these are strftime(3) conversion specifiers.
Explain them with words, and demote the mention of `%s %z` to a
hint to help those who know them.

We already have "--date=raw", which is a Unix epoch
timestamp plus a contextual timezone (either the author's or
the local). But one may not care about the timezone and just
want the epoch timestamp by itself. It's not hard to parse
the two apart, but if you are using a pretty-print format,
you may want git to show the "finished" form that the user
will see.
We can accomodate this by adding a new date format, "unix",
which is basically "raw" without the timezone.

The "raw" format shows a Unix epoch timestamp, but with a
timezone tacked on. The timestamp is not _in_ that zone, but
it is extra information about the time (by default, the zone
the author was in).
The documentation claims that "raw-local" does not work. It
does, but the end result is rather subtle. Let's describe it
in better detail, and test to make sure it works (namely,
the epoch time doesn't change, but the zone does).
While we are rewording the documentation in this area, let's
not use the phrase "does not work" for the remaining option,
"--date=relative". It's vague; do we accept it or not? We do
accept it, but it has no effect (which is a reasonable
outcome). We should also refer to the option not as
"--relative" (which is the historical synonym, and does not
take "-local" at all), but as "--date=relative".

The actual shortening rules aren't that interesting and
probably not worth getting into (I gloss over them here as
"shortened for human readability"). But the fact that %gD
shows whatever you gave on the command line is subtle and
worth mentioning. Since most people will feed a shortened
refname in the first place, it otherwise makes it hard to
understand the difference between the two.

The "reflog selector" format changes based on a series of
heuristics, and that applies equally to both stock "log -g"
output, as well as "--format=%gd". The documentation for
"%gd" doesn't cover this. Let's mention the multiple formats
and refer the user back to the "-g" section for the complete
rules.

We document that asking for HEAD@{now} will switch the
output to show HEAD@{timestamp}, but not that specifying
`--date` has a similar effect, or that it can be overridden
with HEAD@{0}. Let's do so.
These rules come from 794151e (reflog-walk: always make
HEAD@{0} show indexed selectors, 2012-05-04), though that is
simply the culmination of years of these heuristics growing
organically.

When "log -g" shows "HEAD@{1}", "HEAD@{2}", etc, calling
that "commit@{Nth}" is not really accurate. The "HEAD" part
is really the refname. By saying "commit", a reader may
misunderstand that to mean something related to the specific
commit we are showing, not the ref whose reflog we are
traversing.
While we're here, let's also switch these instances to use
literal backticks, as our style guide recommends. As a
bonus, that lets us drop some asciidoc quoting.

Skip tests that are unrunnable on platforms without 64-bit long
to avoid unnecessary test failures.
* jk/tzoffset-fix:
t0006: skip "far in the future" test when unsigned long is not long enough
|
|
Git's source code refers to timestamps as unsigned longs. On 32-bit
platforms, as well as on Windows, unsigned long is not large enough
to capture dates that are "absurdly far in the future".
While we can fix this issue properly by replacing unsigned long with
a larger type, we want to be a bit more conservative and just skip
those tests on the maint track.

The internal code used to show local timezone offset is not
