I was saying "additionally allow that to express timestamp even
before the epoch", and existing cg-admin-rewritehist does not
feed such a string, so I do not know how the additionally
allowed format could break it.  Maybe I am missing something?

In any case, "timestamps after March 1973" patch from j6t is
a good change independent from the above one.
