Subject: [PATCH 10/13] git: implement date_parse method
Date: Sun,  7 Feb 2021 23:05:18 -1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210208090521.28909-11-e@80x24.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210208090521.28909-1-e@80x24.org>

Users are expected to be familiar with git's "approxidate"
functionality for parsing dates, so we'll expose that
in our UIs.  Xapian itself has limited date parsing functionality
and I can't expect users to learn it.

This takes around 4-5ms on my aging workstation, so it'll
probably be made acceptable for the WWW UI, even.

libgit2 has a git__date_parse function which I expect to have
less overhead, but it's only for internal use at the moment.
