It is a timestamp somewhere mid February of 2009. Perhaps the code
is playing defensive against the lack of email address on the
deliberately broken author line, i.e.
author Bugs Bunny 1234567890 +0000
committer Bugs Bunny <bugs@xxxxxx> 1234567890 +0000
in case the parser punted and failed to parse that timestamp
correctly? IOW, the above _could_ be a commit written by "Bugs
Bunny 1234567890" with missing e-mail and missing timestamp.
So I dunno. It won't break the test with today's system if we
removed this config, but with an updated parser from the next year,
it may start to break.
