A minor nit, but wouldn't:

  int approxidate_careful(const char *str, unsigned long *out);

returning an error code be the more usual pattern for a function with
error-plus-output (your approxidate wrapper would have to be a function then,
not a macro)?
I don't have strong preference either way; the one in the patch was
modelled after setup_git_directory_gently(&nongit_ok), and slightly easier
to work with for existing callers that don't care enough.
Looks like you have already pushed out the original patch, so let's not
worry about it.

Side note: I chose this because we needed to go back from the current
time beyond where test_tick would place the commit. Which means this
test has a 2035 bug. :)
Can't we use an absolute date, given that test_tick gives fixed timestamp
sequence to pretend as if we were still in 2005 when we are running these
tests?

Yes, I don't know why I was so concerned with using a relative
approxidate when an absolute one would suffice. However, we should make
a matching change in the silly approxidate entry, too. Like this:

Subject: [PATCH] t0101: use absolute date

The original version used relative approxidates, which don't
reproduce as reliably as absolute ones. Commit 6c647a fixed
this for one case, but missed the "silly" case.
