  Hello,

Dear diary, on Fri, Oct 13, 2006 at 04:44:55PM CEST, I got a letter
where Nicolas Stroppa <nstroppa@computing.dcu.ie> said that...

  I think git-svnimport is broken here, the tagger line is clearly
defined that it must contain the time specification. And git-mktag is
broken as well since the verification of that line is a TODO so we let
the user put any garbage there.
