Looks like you have already pushed out the original patch, so let's not worry about it.

Yes, I don't know why I was so concerned with using a relative approxidate when an absolute one would suffice. However, we should make a matching change in the silly approxidate entry, too. Like this:

Subject: [PATCH] t0101: use absolute date

The original version used relative approxidates, which don't reproduce as reliably as absolute ones. Commit 6c647a fixed this for one case, but missed the "silly" case.
