current is
:r!date
for me in vi, the fingers type it by themselves without even asking the
brain, that would be painful to change.
Also i like the idea of having a more precise time, really, it's not like
we do one commit every few days...
If you do that, you still have to manually append your name and email
address. How about teaching your fingers to type the shorter "#d"
(or whatever you want to call it), which would add the entire line?
Just add this to your .vimrc file (last byte is ctrl-M, aka C-vC-m):
map #d :r!date '+\%F Daniel Veillard <veillard(a)redhat.com>'
