Correct, taking the date of the increment just after the one duplicated.

How do you mean, it fails? A repository not touched since 2013 fails on
--verify, or all your repositories fail on `--verify-at-time
<time-2013-or-before>`, or even something else?

Nothing happened in the code between 2009 and 2019, so the date 2013 is
strange...
