[darcs-users] Match problem

Greetings all,

First time caller; long time admirer of darcs.

I have an issue with using "match" for both 'changes' and 'diff'. I  
have a patch that is recorded as "Wed May 21 13:10:06 Central Standard  
Time 2008". If I run

	darcs changes --matches 'date "2008-05-21 13:10:06"'

I get a list of all patches from and including that point in time. I  
would've expected only the single patch to be listed since the others  
do not 'match' the exact time listed.

Running
	
	darcs diff --match 'date "2008-05-21 13:10:06"'

results in the diffs for a patch dated "Thu May 22 11:21:41 Central  
Standard Time 2008" displayed.

	darcs diff --match 'date "Wed May 21 13:10:06 CST 2008"'

results in the diffs for a patch dated "Thu May 22 13:53:44 Central  
Standard Time 2008".

Can anyone explain firstly why the exact patch that matches that date  
time does not come up? Secondly, why different formats of date result  
in different patches?


I'm using the cygwin version of darcs (2.0.0 (2.0.0 (+ 19 patches)))).

I've also noticed that running

	darcs changes --match='date ...'

returns results but  the --match is not listed in the documentation  
only --matches. Is this intentional?
