Feature Request: Specify since with specific date

[JeffersGlass]

It would be nice to be able to run a dinghy report with updates from a specific date. My use cases are:

• I've just returned from a long time away from a project, and would like a summary from all information since the last time I know I looked at it
• Running a digest of all updates since the last release.

Alternatively, the ability to use since: release/{release-name} or since: commit/{commit-hash} or since: tag/{tag} would also work for my purposes. I don't know if any of the above are simpler/harder to implement given the GitHub API.

These are interesting ideas, thanks! The simplest approach might be to use different fields than since for these other ways to indicate a point in time: since-release: {release-name}, since-commit: {ref}, since-tag: {ref}?

Maybe I'm wrong, but this also seems like it would be useful as a command-line argument, and not so much in the yaml, since you wouldn't be using the same point in time multiple times. It's for a one-off, correct?

since=DATE and a command-line --since=SINCE option are implemented in commit 7dd9b7b.

This is now available as dinghy 1.3.0.

Fantastic! Thank you so much @nedbat !
