I take it back, it works just fine...

My problem was that bk generates dates with a non-rfc compliant timezone string. And I was trying to apply patches exported from bk in plain text format (building a udev git tree...) The patch below to commit-tree.c fixes this issue, if anyone runs into this same issue (I wouldn't recommend it to be applied, as it's probably a one-off issue...)

thanks,

greg k-h -------------- Allow commit-tree to handle the bk date format.
