Yup, that seems to do it for me. I'm not sure how we get to
"match_digit()" with the time string "now", though.

So your patch fixes things for me, but I think:

 - we should move the "tm.tm_isdst = -1;" up a bit and add a comment

 - I'd like to know why it affected the author date but not the
committer date, and how it got to match_digit() with that date string
that didn't contain any digits.

I'd spend the time on this myself, but I'm in the middle of the kernel
merge window, so..

Thanks,
