I got the following error message while trying to fetch a subversion
repository:

$ git svn init file:///home/mg/svn/mg git-svn-test
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/ward/worktrees/git-svn-test/.git/
$ cd git-svn-test
$ git svn fetch

        A       CFE/Makefile
Unable to parse date: 2004-03-09T09:44:33.Z
 at /usr/bin/git-svn line 3995

This patch makes the matching of subseconds optional, which prevents the
error message from showing. Since the subseconds match isn't actually
used this should not be a problem.
