From f290974390c9be76e9166df6f0ab5ad790b812ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Wong Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2009 21:34:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Allow the Unix epoch to be a valid commit date It is common practice to use the Unix epoch as a fallback date when a suitable date is not available. This is true of git svn and possibly other importing tools that import non-git history into git. Instead of clobbering established strtoul() error reporting semantics with our own, preserve the strtoul() error value of ULONG_MAX for fsck.c to handle.
