I think in the original context that triggered the "be more friendly to Europeans" discussion long time ago, some correlations between the delimiting characters (i.e. 'xxxx-xx-xx' vs 'xxxx.xx.xx' vs 'xxxx/xx/xx') and month-day ordering convention. I do not recall if we actually added that as a signal when disambiguating, though. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
