help/dates: use DATE as place-holder in help and abort texts The use of "{datetime}" was unfortunate since I as a user never knew if I was expected to do hg log -d '>{2011-04-01}' or hg log -d '>2011-04-01' The word "datetime" is also confusing -- calling it a date it much simpler.

 The log command also accepts date ranges:
 
-- ``<{datetime}`` - at or before a given date/time
-- ``>{datetime}`` - on or after a given date/time
-- ``{datetime} to {datetime}`` - a date range, inclusive
-- ``-{days}`` - within a given number of days of today
+- ``<DATE`` - at or before a given date/time
+- ``>DATE`` - on or after a given date/time
+- ``DATE to DATE`` - a date range, inclusive
+- ``-DAYS`` - within a given number of days of today
