I was saying "additionally allow that to express timestamp even before the epoch", and existing cg-admin-rewritehist does not feed such a string, so I do not know how the additionally allowed format could break it. Maybe I am missing something? In any case, "timestamps after March 1973" patch from j6t is a good change independent from the above one.
