Feature Request: expose git metadata as pseudo-keys

[aqw]

We have long discussed making various bits of git metadata queryable, most especially the creation date and last modification date.

Git already has all this information, and would support use-cases such as #428 .

The two "must haves" are creation date and last modification date. However, there is additional metadata we could expose such as committer and author (though I have no real use-cases for it).

All keys will live under the onyo.git namespace (see #688).

Proposed names: 1) - created

• modified 2) - date_created
• date_modified 3) - created_date
• modified_date 4) - created_date
• created_author
• created_committer
• modified_date
• modified_author
• modified_committer

Ideas are most welcome. :-)

After some though, I prefer option 1. It's the only known use-case.

I dislike adding _date as the type, aa the returned data will actually be date-time.

If we do eventually end up adding the other fields, I propose the following:

created
created_author
created_committer
modified
modified_author
modified_committer
