Ah, I can reproduce it now. Thanks for poking at it, Colin. On an older
i686 box:

  $ git fsck

  Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
  error in commit f20ad5ffaa212876da3efb6a9a6f1ea3f8082734: badDateOverflow: invalid author/committer line - date causes integer overflow
  error in commit 3cc239823f5447fdb739014e076463c8da6225dd: badDateOverflow: invalid author/committer line - date causes integer overflow
  Checking objects: 100% (86573/86573), done.

Both of these commits are from 2006, but "git log" says "Date: Thu Jan 1
00:00:00 1970 +0000". On a more recent amd64 box I don't get "git fsck"
to complain, but the commits are still there, and their date is more
interesting: "Date: Sun Jul 27 02:03:19 2206 +0200".

It isn't particularly difficult to fix this for the master branch, but
since this would be a history rewrite, the resulting tree would be a
fork, effectively. There aren't a ton of people committing to this repo,
so fixing it wouldn't be too disruptive. Strong feelings either way?
