tests: remove unneeded -d flags Many tests fixed the commit date of their changesets at '1000000 0' or similar. However testing with "Mon Jan 12 13:46:40 1970 +0000" is not better than testing with "Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000", which is the default run-tests.py installs. Removing the unnecessary flag removes some clutter and will hopefully make it clearer what the tests are really trying to test. Some tests did not even change their output when the dates were changed, in which case the -d flag was truly irrelevant. Dates used in sequence (such as '0 0', '1 0', etc...) were left alone since they may make the test easier to understand.

Create a repository:

     2

     3

  $ mkdir t

     4

  $ cd t

     5

  $ hg init

     6

     7

Make a changeset:

     8

     9

  $ echo a > a

    10

  $ hg add a

    11

  $ hg commit -m test

    12

    13

This command is ancient:

    14

    15

  $ hg history

    16

  changeset:   0:acb14030fe0a

    17

  tag:         tip

    18

  user:        test

    19

  date:        Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000

    20

  summary:     test

    21

    22

    23

Poke around at hashes:

    24

    25

  $ hg manifest --debug

    26

  b789fdd96dc2f3bd229c1dd8eedf0fc60e2b68e3 644   a

    27

    28

  $ hg cat a

    29

  a

    30

    31

Verify should succeed:

    32

    33

  $ hg verify

    34
