Is there any documentation describing what does parse_date() accept?

The above are all supported (you can label 2 as ISO even though the
official ISO8601 wants "T" instead of " " between date and time).

For more amusing ones, see

    http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/12241

and follow the discussion there ;-)

Aren't the amusing ones the result of approxidate, and not parse_date?
At least that is my recollection from working on the date code when I
ate 30 hot dogs last August.

I think you are right, at least --date="2008-12-02 18:04:00" works here,
but not --date="teatime".
