Unlike what you have done until now, which was a clear improvement
with no change to the default user interface, this suggests changing
the default behaviour of darcs in a way that is culturally alien to
most people and incompatible with other revision control systems.
Perhaps most other revision control systems have gotten this wrong,
but I can't agree that 2006-01-09 is culturally alien to most
people; rather, I think most people want either 01/09/2006 or
09/01/2006 and think that the one they prefer is natural. But I
think everybody agrees that 2006-01-09 is sometime about now, while
they would disagree whether the oddball formats are around now or in
September.
Just to put in my $0.02. I like the iso "big endian" dates. I find
them easy to sort on the command line and unambiguous. I think this
patch is a good thing.
Thanks,
Jason
