tests: remove unneeded -d flags Many tests fixed the commit date of their changesets at '1000000 0' or similar. However testing with "Mon Jan 12 13:46:40 1970 +0000" is not better than testing with "Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000", which is the default run-tests.py installs. Removing the unnecessary flag removes some clutter and will hopefully make it clearer what the tests are really trying to test. Some tests did not even change their output when the dates were changed, in which case the -d flag was truly irrelevant. Dates used in sequence (such as '0 0', '1 0', etc...) were left alone since they may make the test easier to understand.

Create a repository:

  $ mkdir t
  $ cd t
  $ hg init

Make a changeset:

  $ echo a > a
  $ hg add a
  $ hg commit -m test

This command is ancient:

  $ hg history
  changeset:   0:acb14030fe0a
  tag:         tip
  user:        test
  date:        Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000
  summary:     test
  

Poke around at hashes:

  $ hg manifest --debug
  b789fdd96dc2f3bd229c1dd8eedf0fc60e2b68e3 644   a

  $ hg cat a
  a

Verify should succeed:

  $ hg verify
  checking changesets
  checking manifests
  crosschecking files in changesets and manifests
  checking files
  1 files, 1 changesets, 1 total revisions

At the end...
