changeset 28825:87c6ad2251d8

date: reallow negative timestamp, fix for Windows buggy gmtime() (issue2513) DVCS are very useful to store various texts (as legislation) written before Unix epoch. Fri, 13 Dec 1901 is a nice gain over Thu, 01 Jan 1970. Revert dd24f3e7ca9e and e1002cf9fe54, fix c208dcd0f709. Add tests.
