Done. I just pushed a change to gfi which adds `--date-format=<fmt>`.
For <fmt> you have the choice of:
raw: Standard Git format. This is the default, as its what
the existing frontends by Chris Lee, Simon Hausmann, Jon Smirl,
and Simon 'corecode' Schubert expect.
rfc2822: Run whatever crap you give us through parse_date(),
and cross your fingers. If parse_date() returns < 0 we bomb
out, but otherwise take it at its word.
now: This is a toy, but useful if you really want now, dammit.
We just call datestamp() and tack that in. Note that the frontend
must also supply the literal string `now` in the committer line
(e.g. "committer A U Thor <at@example•com> now") to prevent us
from bombing out.
The last one will probably get more useful when I fix gfi so it can
safely commit against active refs without losing commits (make it
do a strict fast-forward check before updating). In this case it
may be useful for something like git-cvsserver, as it avoids the
need for a temporary directory, index, etc.
