Karl,
No panicing... The set with items that have only +0 and +1 is currently
empty. See Sander's and Fitz's mail (I didn't see any single person who
voted -0 on all of them). Nobody voted -1 on anything that I spotted in
a quick review of the thread.
I honestly couldn't care less. I'll only panic if it doesn't have hour,
minute, second, day, month, and a 4 digit year, nearly any sane order
with or without delimiters of any kind. Either spelled out, or
numerical for any of the various values. It just isn't that big a deal
to me personally.
If you really want to make everybody happy, don't bother with consensus,
just give everybody personal control and then you don't need consensus.
My suggestion isn't terribly different then the current one, except that
instead of using "()", use the field delimiter for the current output
stream. Rather then try and pick for everyone on the plant what goes in
the the ()'s just let them specify it thru some controlled manner. Then
people in India, China, Zimbabwa and the aliens from Mar's get to pick
what they want not what the original developers decided was best on a
mailing list w/ several hundred people on it (granted SVN has a very
diverse group from all over the globe, and several people who are
international issue oriented). If you are happy with the ISO format
pick SVN_DATE_FORMAT="", and then the field is blank.
It's merely a suggestion, I'll be more then happy with any of the 3
listed, and I'll be happy with absolutely anything you're +1 or +0 with
Karl. You're lots more particular on this issue then I am. Just
pointing out an alternative is all.
