Hi James,

You can view a summary of change sets here:

  http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git

gnulib is similar:

  http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git

On that page, it lists some URLs, which you can "clone" to get a local
copy (avoid the http:// one if you can, because that protocol is less
efficient, and some older git clients malfunction with them):

Most people want read access, so use this command:

git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils.git

That creates a directory named "coreutils" in your working directory.
Or, you can choose the destination dir name:

git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils.git  SOME_OTHER_NAME

Then, "cd coreutils" and run "git pull" to download the latest changes
from the net, and merge them into your local copy.

[bug #19475] date produces incorrect output with +/-1 Month when the date is the 31st

[Eric Blake]

Update of bug #19475 (project coreutils):

  Status:None => Duplicate  
 Open/Closed:Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

Not a bug; but it is a duplicate of bug #18921.  The manual specifically
recommends the following (info coreutils relative):

   The fuzz in units can cause problems with relative items.  For
example, `2003-07-31 -1 month' might evaluate to 2003-07-01, because
2003-06-31 is an invalid date.  To determine the previous month more
reliably, you can ask for the month before the 15th of the current
month.  For example:

 $ date -R
 Thu, 31 Jul 2003 13:02:39 -0700
 $ date --date='-1 month' +'Last month was %B?'
 Last month was July?
 $ date --date="$(date +%Y-%m-15) -1 month" +'Last month was %B!'
 Last month was June!

According to Marvin Simkin on 3/30/2007 4:22 PM:
> $ tail --version
> tail (GNU coreutils) 5.97

You are still due for an upgrade.  The latest stable version is 6.9.

At any rate, this is not a bug, but a POSIX conformance issue; and it was
documented in the NEWS for 5.90:

  A few usages still have behavior that depends on which POSIX standard is
  being conformed to, and portable applications should beware these
  problematic usages.  These include:

Problematic   Standard-conforming replacement, depending on
   usagewhether you prefer the behavior of:
  POSIX 1003.2-1992POSIX 1003.1-2001
tail +4   tail -n +4   tail ./+4

and it is also mentioned in the manual (info coreutils tail), along with
the _POSIX2_VERSION environment variable which you can set to choose which
version of POSIX you want to obey.
