-mda should not be dealing with broken Date: headers
nowadays, and deprioritize it in our documentation and
internal checks.

* [PATCH 0/4] drop Date::Parse dependency

I started working on the async batch interface for git many
months ago, but didn't have a good use case for it.  The
comparison test in msgtime_cmp gives me an excuse to start using
it :)

Spam email I don't care about, but there's some differences for
folks that send valid mails:

The new code gets tripped up by 4 digit dates from non-sensical
times (emails from 1904, really?), so maybe some adjustment
is necessary.

There's also some bogus dates from the year 71685, so that's
a case where falling back on the Received: header is a good
choice.

Maybe some more odd caes when checks are done running...

Eric Wong (4):
  git: async batch interface
  add msgtime_cmp maintainer test
  msgtime: drop Date::Parse for RFC2822
  Date::Parse is now optional
