Subject: bug#17451: Let's patch 'date' to suggest the FAQ for invalid date formats
Date: Sat, 10 May 2014 12:23:19 -0700

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

This topic comes up often enough that I'm inclined to add an FAQ pointer 
into that diagnostic issued by 'date'.  Proposed patch is attached.  I 
suppose we could try for a more-stable URL, but one step at a time.
