That's correct.  We noticed this a few weeks ago when an automated tool
committed changes with invalid dates, but somehow we forgot to fix the
problem.  How embarrassing!

I've just committed a fix.  Thanks for bringing the problem up.  The fix
is pullable from http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial/crew

It's a Unix timestamp and date, each in int format, separated by one
space.

See mercurial/changelog.py:changelog.add for code that generates a date
if none is handed in.
