Jeff King 1dca155fe3 log: handle integer overflow in timestamps
If an ident line has a ridiculous date value like (2^64)+1,
we currently just pass ULONG_MAX along to the date code,
which can produce nonsensical dates.

On systems with a signed long time_t (e.g., 64-bit glibc
systems), this actually doesn't end up too bad. The
ULONG_MAX is converted to -1, we apply the timezone field to
that, and the result ends up somewhere between Dec 31, 1969
and Jan 1, 1970.

However, there is still a few good reasons to detect the
overflow explicitly:

  1. On systems where "unsigned long" is smaller than
     time_t, we get a nonsensical date in the future.

  2. Even where it would produce "Dec 31, 1969", it's easier
     to recognize "midnight Jan 1" as a consistent sentinel
     value for "we could not parse this".

  3.  Values which do not overflow strtoul but do overflow a
      signed time_t produce nonsensical values in the past.
      For example, on a 64-bit system with a signed long
      time_t, a timestamp of 18446744073000000000 produces a
      date in 1947.

We also recognize overflow in the timezone field, which
could produce nonsensical results. In this case we show the
parsed date, but in UTC.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	Git - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list.  The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
