2019-02-06Merge branch 'lt/date-human'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+20
A new date format "--date=human" that morphs its output depending on how far the time is from the current time has been introduced. "--date=auto" can be used to use this new format when the output is going to the pager or to the terminal and otherwise the default format. * lt/date-human: Add `human` date format tests. Add `human` format to test-tool Add 'human' date format documentation Replace the proposed 'auto' mode with 'auto:' Add 'human' date format
2019-01-29Add `human` date format tests.Libravatar Stephen P. Smith1-0/+18
When using `human` several fields are suppressed depending on the time difference between the reference date and the local computer date. In cases where the difference is less than a year, the year field is supppressed. If the time is less than a day; the month and year is suppressed. Use TEST_DATE_NOW environment variable when using the test-tool to hold the expected output strings constant. Signed-off-by: Stephen P.

2019-01-29Add `human` format to test-toolLibravatar Stephen P. Smith1-2/+2
Add the human format support to the test tool so that GIT_TEST_DATE_NOW can be used to specify the current time. The get_time() helper function was created and and checks the GIT_TEST_DATE_NOW environment variable. If GIT_TEST_DATE_NOW is set, then that date is used instead of the date returned by by gettimeofday(). All calls to gettimeofday() were replaced by calls to get_time(). Renamed occurances of TEST_DATE_NOW to GIT_TEST_DATE_NOW since the variable is now used in the get binary and not just in the test-tool. Signed-off-by: Stephen P.

2018-11-07approxidate: fix NULL dereference in date_time()Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
When we see a time like "noon", we pass "12" to our date_time() helper, which sets the hour to 12pm. If the current time is before noon, then we wrap around to yesterday using date_yesterday(). But unlike the normal calls to date_yesterday() from approxidate_alpha(), we pass a NULL "num" parameter. Since c27cc94fad (approxidate: handle pending number for "specials", 2018-11-02), that causes a segfault. One way to fix this is by checking for NULL. But arguably date_time() is abusing our helper by passing NULL in the first place (and this is the only case where one of these "special" parsers is used this way). So instead, let's have it just do the 1-day subtraction itself. It's still just a one-liner due to our update_tm() helper. Note that the test added here is a little funny, as we say "10am noon", which makes the "10am" seem pointless. But this bug can only be triggered when it the currently-parsed hour is before the special time. The latest special time is "tea" at 1700, but t0006 uses a hard-coded TEST_DATE_NOW of 1900. We could reset TEST_DATE_NOW, but that may lead to confusion in other tests. Just saying "10am noon" makes this test self-contained.

2018-11-02approxidate: handle pending number for "specials"Libravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
The approxidate parser has a table of special keywords like "yesterday", "noon", "pm", etc. Some of these, like "pm", do the right thing if we've recently seen a number: "3pm" is what you'd think. However, most of them do not look at or modify the pending-number flag at all, which means a number may "jump" across a significant keyword and be used unexpectedly. For example, when parsing: January 5th noon pm we'd connect the "5" to "pm", and ignore it as a day-of-month. This is obviously a bit silly, as "noon" already implies "pm". And other mis-parsed things are generally as silly ("January 5th noon, years ago" would connect the 5 to "years", but probably nobody would type that). However, the fix is simple: when we see a keyword like "noon", we should flush the pending number (as we would if we hit another number, or the end of the string). In a few of the specials that actually modify the day, we can simply throw away the number (saying "Jan 5 yesterday" should not respect the number at all). Note that we have to either move or forward-declare the static pending_number() to make it accessible to these functions; this patch moves it.

2017-06-22Merge branch 'rs/strbuf-addftime-zZ'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+14
As there is no portable way to pass timezone information to strftime, some output format from "git log" and friends are impossible to produce. Teach our own strbuf_addftime to replace %z and %Z with caller-supplied values to help working around this. * rs/strbuf-addftime-zZ: date: use localtime() for "-local" time formats t0006: check --date=format zone offsets strbuf: let strbuf_addftime handle %z and %Z itself
2017-06-15date: use localtime() for "-local" time formatsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
When we convert seconds-since-epochs timestamps into a broken-down "struct tm", we do so by adjusting the timestamp according to the known offset and then using gmtime() to break down the result. This means that the resulting struct "knows" that it's in GMT, even though the time it represents is adjusted for a different zone. The fields where it stores this data are not portably accessible, so we have no way to override them to tell them the real zone info. For the most part, this works. Our date-formatting routines don't pay attention to these inaccessible fields, and use the same tz info we provided for adjustment. The one exception is when we call strftime(), whose %Z format reveals this hidden timezone data. We solved that by always showing the empty string for %Z. This is allowed by POSIX, but not very helpful to the user. We can't make this work in the general case, as there's no portable function for setting an arbitrary timezone (and anyway, we don't have the zone name for the author zones, only their offsets). But for the special case of the "-local" formats, we can just skip the adjustment and use localtime() instead of gmtime(). This makes --date=format-local:%Z work correctly, showing the local timezone instead of an empty string. The new test checks the result for "UTC", our default test-lib value for $TZ. Using something like EST5 might be more interesting, but the actual zone string is system-dependent (for instance, on my system it expands to just EST). Hopefully "UTC" is vanilla enough that every system treats it the same. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-06-15t0006: check --date=format zone offsetsLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+7
We already test that "%z" and "%Z" show the right thing, but we don't actually check that the time we display is the correct one. Let's add two new tests: 1. Test that "format:" shows the time in the author's timezone, just like the other time formats. 2. Test that "format-local:" shows time in the local timezone. We don't want to use our normal UTC for this, because its offset is zero (so the result would be "correct" even if the code forgot to apply the offset or applied it in the wrong direction). We'll use the EST5 zone, which is already used elsewhere in the script (and so is assumed to be available everywhere).

2017-06-15strbuf: let strbuf_addftime handle %z and %Z itselfLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+6
There is no portable way to pass timezone information to strftime. Add parameters for timezone offset and name to strbuf_addftime and let it handle the timezone-related format specifiers %z and %Z internally. Callers can opt out for %Z by passing NULL as timezone name. %z is always handled internally -- this helps on Windows, where strftime would expand it to a timezone name (same as %Z), in violation of POSIX. Modifiers are not handled, e.g. %Ez is still passed to strftime. Use an empty string as timezone name in show_date (the only current caller) for now because we only have the timezone offset in non-local mode. POSIX allows %Z to resolve to an empty string in case of missing information.

2017-04-20t0006 & t5000: skip "far in the future" test when time_t is too limitedLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+2
Git's source code refers to timestamps as unsigned long, which is ill-defined, as there is no guarantee about the number of bits that data type has. In preparation of switching to another data type that is large enough to hold "far in the future" dates, we need to prepare the t0006-date.sh script for the case where we *still* cannot format those dates if the system library uses 32-bit time_t.

2017-04-20t0006 & t5000: prepare for 64-bit timestampsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+2
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". It is perfectly valid by the C standard, of course, for the `long` data type to refer to 32-bit integers. That is why the `time_t` data type exists: so that it can be 64-bit even if `long` is 32-bit. Git's source code simply uses an incorrect data type for timestamps, is all. The earlier quick fix 6b9c38e14cd (t0006: skip "far in the future" test when unsigned long is not long enough, 2016-07-11) papered over this issue simply by skipping the respective test cases on platforms where they would fail due to the data type in use. This quick fix, however, tests for *long* to be 64-bit or not. What we need, though, is a test that says whether *whatever data type we use for timestamps* is 64-bit or not. The same quick fix was used to handle the similar problem where Git's source code uses `unsigned long` to represent size, instead of `size_t`, conflating the two issues. So let's just add another prerequisite to test specifically whether timestamps are represented by a 64-bit data type or not. Later, after we switch to a larger data type, we can flip that prerequisite to test `time_t` instead of `long`.

2016-07-27date: add "unix" formatLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
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. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-07-27date: document and test "raw-local" modeLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
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".

2016-06-20local_tzoffset: detect errors from tm_to_time_tLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
When we want to know the local timezone offset at a given timestamp, we compute it by asking for localtime() at the given time, and comparing the offset to GMT at that time. However, there's some juggling between time_t and "struct tm" which happens, which involves calling our own tm_to_time_t(). If that function returns an error (e.g., because it only handles dates up to the year 2099), it returns "-1", which we treat as a time_t, and is clearly bogus, leading to bizarre timestamps (that seem to always adjust the time back to (time_t)(uint32_t)-1, in the year 2106). It's not a good idea for local_tzoffset() to simply die here; it would make it hard to run "git log" on a repository with funny timestamps. Instead, let's just treat such cases as "zero offset".

The "show" tests are really only checking relative formats; we should make that more clear. This also frees up the "show" name to later check other formats. We could later fold "relative" into a more generic "show" command, but it's not worth it. Relative times are a special case already because we have to munge the concept of "now" in our tests.

2014-11-13approxidate: allow ISO-like dates far in the futureLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+3
When we are parsing approxidate strings and we find three numbers separate by one of ":/-.", we guess that it may be a date. We feed the numbers to match_multi_number, which checks whether it makes sense as a date in various orderings (e.g., dd/mm/yy or mm/dd/yy, etc). One of the checks we do is to see whether it is a date more than 10 days in the future. This was added in 38035cf (date parsing: be friendlier to our European friends., 2006-04-05), and lets us guess that if it is currently April 2014, then "10/03/2014" is probably March 10th, not October 3rd. This has a downside, though; if you want to be overly generous with your "--until" date specification, we may wrongly parse "2014-12-01" as "2014-01-12" (because the latter is an in-the-past date). If the year is a future year (i.e., both are future dates), it gets even weirder. Due to the vagaries of approxidate, months _after_ the current date (no matter the year) get flipped, but ones before do not. This patch drops the "in the future" check for dates of this form, letting us treat them always as yyyy-mm-dd, even if they are in the future. This does not affect the normal dd/mm/yyyy versus mm/dd/yyyy lookup, because this code path only kicks in when the first number is greater than 70 (i.e., it must be a year, and cannot be either a date or a month). The one possible casualty is that "yyyy-dd-mm" is less likely to be chosen over "yyyy-mm-dd". That's probably OK, though because: 1. The difference happens only when the date is in the future. Already we prefer yyyy-mm-dd for dates in the past. 2. It's unclear whether anybody even uses yyyy-dd-mm regularly. It does not appear in lists of common date formats in Wikipedia[1,2]. 3. Even if (2) is wrong, it is better to prefer ISO-like dates, as that is consistent with what we use elsewhere in git.

2011-04-20date: avoid "X years, 12 months" in relative datesLibravatar Michael J Gruber1-0/+1
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) Tests and inspiration by Jeff King.
