Add documentation for "git commit --date=now"

[johnlinp]

There are some special strings that we can pass to --date in git commit, e.g. now, yesterday, noon, tea...

Personally I think --date=now is the most useful because I will use it with git commit --amend. I guess we don't have to make an exhaustive list of special strings in the documentation, but I think we can at least mention now.

I can do this. Can someone please point me to where the docs are kept?

Gladly: https://github.com/git/git/tree/v2.23.0/Documentation/

You will probably see very quickly where the patch needs to go ;-)

#408

I have raised a pull request for it. I am not sure if I have fulfilled the commit message requirements correctly. Do tell if there is anything I have to correct.

@dscho I dont see PR to be merged, neither there is any response from the author for more than a year now, can i take this up?

[dscho]

@Rhythm-26 how about asking @jpninanjohn first?

[Rhythm-26]

Yes, lets do that. @jpninanjohn please let me know if you are working on it or if you'd prefer me to continue.

@Rhythm-26 now that more than two months of beautiful cricket sounds have filled the air, from my side you have the blessing to proceed without their consent.
