You're right, format_patch_date and parse_patch_date are definitely
wrong in how they format the timezone.

Am I correct in thinking that we don't really care about supporting
times before the epoch in general, just that we can format the epoch
timestamp for use with added or removed files?  Maybe we could always
format 0 as gmtime?  After all they're really just saying "null
timestamp" not that particular date in 1970.

This patch does those two things.
