[darcs-users] 'darcs changes' date format

FWIW, I like ISO 8601:

2004-04-06T13:57:58+0000

But I even more prefer ISO 8601 with a space instead of "T" and with the
timezone spelled out:

2004-04-06 13:57:58 UTC

If you want the timestamp to be a single token, you can use underscores instead
of whitespace:

2004-04-06_13:57:58_UTC

This format isn't an ISO standard, but it is widely used and is even mentioned
in some docs as being a common variation of ISO 8601.

Regards,

Zooko
