From cb71f8bdb5a105cd5b66142b887989d9addc82d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2017 12:45:48 +0200 Subject: PRItime: introduce a new "printf format" for timestamps Currently, Git's source code treats all timestamps as if they were unsigned longs. Therefore, it is okay to write "%lu" when printing them. There is a substantial problem with that, though: at least on Windows, time_t is *larger* than unsigned long, and hence we will want to switch away from the ill-specified `unsigned long` data type. So let's introduce the pseudo format "PRItime" (currently simply being defined to "lu") to make it easier to change the data type used for timestamps.
