Hmm.
Two potential issues are:
- After this patch, there still are quite a many
printf("time is %"PRItime" ...\n", timestamp)
so the burden on the programmers having to remember when it is
required to use format_raw_time() becomes unclear, and makes the
change/churn larger when an existing message needs to be marked
for translation.
- The static struct strbuf here is a cheap way to avoid leaks, but
at the same time it is unfriendly to threaded code. We could
instead do:
void append_PRItime(struct strbuf *buf, timestamp_t time);
to fix that trivially, but the damage to the caller obviously is
much larger going this way.
