I have a suspicion that this is to do with the fact I use thunderbird to
manage my email and save it out as plain text.   I'm using the import
export tools package on top of thunderbird (as it gives a cleaner result)
but it is using numeric dates.  Which git am is happy with, but apparently
it isn't coping well with American date formats vs mine.  Superficially
looks like this is fine if I use the much more verbose alternative of
saving as an eml file and using that...

There are some dates that have by coincidence jumped a fair way back into
the past as well.

I did notice an incidence of this a few months back but thought it was just
a one off.  Thanks for bringing it up Anssi!
