07:23 <rahl> stenur: apologies for delayed response

07:25 <rahl> crediting with my sdf address is quite fine, thanks; no credit was expected

07:27 <rahl> Don't be sorry for anything - I really appreciate you digging into this

07:29 <rahl> The only case I can think of where taking a -t Date: as-is would be for something like git-send-email, because that date eventually ends up being used as the time of commit, so would make sense. But it's not exactly critical.

07:31 <rahl> When you say you just send the patch or series directly, you mean you manually write the emails e.g. attaching diff patches, or perhaps matching the email format?

14:43 <stenur> rahl: i have git aliases

14:43 <stenur> alias.mail-patch format-patch -M --stdout

14:44 <stenur> and (but not used in over a decade at all)

14:44 <stenur> alias.mail-cover-patcho !git format-patch --cover-letter -M --output-directory ~/tmp/git-patcho

14:48 <stenur> ..and it was a real bug; i added a test for now..

14:51 <stenur> I use the alias like "git mail-patch HEAD^ | mail -Aich -t"

14:51 <stenur> But well, i see. Honestly i even no longer use that alias ;-)) I normally attach or include a patch

14:52 <stenur> I place a .TODO entry for v14.10, we should be able to do this today already, for Date:, that is.

14:54 <stenur> ..but it will take some time, at least one or two hours of work with tests and all that, not the next few days.

14:55 <stenur> But you are absolutely right, will do!
