Subject: [PATCH] cg-object-id: use git-rev-parse(1) for date parsing

From: Jonas Fonseca <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2005 22:40:13 +0100

Using the --until switch, git-rev-parse(1) will first be given the ID. If it
cannot make sense of the ID fallback to using date(1).

Signed-off-by: Jonas Fonseca <[email-masked]>

 The mixing of date parsing behaviours might be a little questionable,
 but it's good to stay compatible with git.
