Subject: doc: revert recent date(1) synopsis change
X-Git-Tag: v8.26~84
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5bbce2d2d76edc24caf0888888a1e20cf23151ef;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

doc: revert recent date(1) synopsis change

* src/date.c (usage): This was thought to introduce other ambiguities,
and was inconsistent with the format presented in the touch(1) docs.
* doc/coreutils.texi (date invocation): Likewise.
