c475cccce4 Flip the new/old order, and add suggestion for -lt
I changed my mind about which way round sorting by “newest” or by “oldest” should actually go. If you’re listing a large directory, you see the last lines of the output first, so these files should be the ones with the largest whatever the sort field is. It’s about sorting *last*, not sorting *first*. Sorting by size wouldn’t say “sorts smallest files first”, it would say “sorts largest files last”. Right?

Also, add a new suggestion that warns against “ls -lt”.

0fefc78cbb Add more modified date aliases
I don’t really see the modified date as the *modified* date, rather just the *date* field, because it’s the date field I refer to like 99.9% of the time. So now it has aliases to match.

Also are included are aliases for the reverse order, because I’d rather write “new” than “the reverse of old”.

57c647fee5 Default to sorting case-insensitively
This was touched on in #209 where I got the docs wrong compared to the actual implementation, but after thinking about it, I’d like to switch it round. (The --sort=Name and --sort=name difference has also been switched.) See the big ol’ comment for my reasons.

Because this changes core functionality, it broke many, many tests. You can see that this doesn’t change the -star- tests because the shell, rather than exa, orders the globbed files.

I kept on forgetting which way round Sensitive and Insensitive went, so I named them after the effect they have.

e2f73927c7 Make all the option descriptions the same
The old option descriptions were all written at different times, and needed some consistency. This makes everything consistent between the help text, README, man page, and shell completions, and fixes some mistakes made when writing them.

This also adds the missing options to the man page, fixing #175.

54067bf765 Replace the testcases script with a Vagrant VM
See the README section for more details. Basically, with this way, we can store a bunch of existing valid exa outputs, change a VM's environment to match our values, then check that exa still works by comparing outputs.

737069eab9 Document using cargo install in README
Cargo now lets people install binaries by running `cargo install`. This
can be more convenient than cloning and building exa manually.

714b9c1fbe Add simple Makefile to build and install exa
This patch adds a Makefile that will build and install exa along with
its recently added manual page. This provides a little bit of a nicer
installation path while we wait for Cargo to, hopefully, provide its own
built-in installation method for packages that contain binaries.

a4e17193d9 Add sort-by-date options
These were completely missing because I forgot about them... I added sorting functionality before I added date functionality, but it turns out I didn't even need the datetime library to do this!

However, this implementation feels incomplete. If you sort by the accessed date, it still displays the modified date, so the dates still look out of order. If I were to change the date column for the user, though, then there would still be no header to signify that the column has changed. I'm not sure how to proceed with this, but this is still missing functionality, so in it goes.

728f9f1804 Add grid view by default
This makes it more like ls. The --long (-l) argument has been added to get at the old behaviour, and the --links argument is now on -H. I can't crib this behaviour from ls because it shows it by default.

TODO: The terminal size is currently assumed to be 80, and it uses the string length, rather than the width.
