Re: [PATCH] Accept dates before 2000/01/01 when specified as seconds since the epoch

Perhaps

	"epoch" [-+] [0-9]+ " " [-+][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]

Probably a good idea, though it would break cg-admin-rewritehist.

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.
