Subject: Use git to generate the release date if available.
X-Git-Tag: mutt-1-10-rel~55
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fefbd81f7339573ade08d29af2bf2e8e07349da7;p=mutt

Use git to generate the release date if available.

For now, fall back to the ChangeLog.  Perhaps the release date should
be generated from a file, similar to VERSION, for those cases instead.
