Being able to parse this is a very low priority.
You've taught people here and on the kernel list that the "date" can use
any non-digit-non-word as a word separator, and "git log --since 2.days"
is something you often do.
People who followed that advice would have gotten used to this already, e.g.
$ git reflog delete master@{07.04.2005.15:15:00.-0700}
should not be broken.
I think your first hunk needs to distinguish between "very-long-precision
posint" (in which case we ignore because it is likely to be nanoseconds
fraction) and others.
