9 "dates|Date Formats":
10 r'''
11 Some commands (backout, commit, tag) allow the user to specify a date.
12 Possible formats for dates are:
13
14 YYYY-mm-dd \HH:MM[:SS] [(+|-)NNNN]::
15 This is a subset of ISO 8601, allowing just the recommended notations
16 for date and time. The last part represents the timezone; if omitted,
17 local time is assumed. Examples:
18
19 "2005-08-22 03:27 -0700"
20
21 "2006-04-19 21:39:51"
22
23 aaa bbb dd HH:MM:SS YYYY [(+|-)NNNN]::
24 This is the date format used by the C library. Here, aaa stands for
25 abbreviated weekday name and bbb for abbreviated month name. The last
26 part represents the timezone; if omitted, local time is assumed.
27 Examples:
28
29 "Mon Aug 22 03:27:00 2005 -0700"
30
31 "Wed Apr 19 21:39:51 2006"
32
33 unixtime offset::
34 This is the internal representation format for dates. unixtime is
35 the number of seconds since the epoch (1970-01-01 00:00 UTC). offset
36 is the offset of the local timezone, in seconds west of UTC (negative
37 if the timezone is east of UTC).
38 Examples:
39
40 "1124706420 25200" (2005-08-22 03:27:00 -0700)
41
42 "1145475591 -7200" (2006-04-19 21:39:51 +0200)
