Yeah, anything like blame that deals with arbitrary date formats has to
know how to handle at least
strlen("Sun Feb 22 15:08:25 2009 -0500") = 30
anyway. Even the default blame format is:
strlen("2009-02-24 02:03:25 -0500") = 25
So "Y years, M months ago" is at least that short for the next ten
thousand years. I can live with setting the cutoff to just "years"
somewhere lower than 10,000. :)
