bzr time format is not quite rfc2822

[Martin Pool]

I was wondering if the bzr timestamp is actually RFC 2822 compliant? I'm not much of a proofreader, that's why I'm asking. :)

Here's the document: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt
date-time = [ day-of-week "," ] date FWS time [CFWS]

Example of bzr timestamp:
timestamp: Sat 2009-07-25 14:36:12 +0200

Shouldn't there be a comma after day-of-week?

Yes, according to that BNF fragment.

We might want to consider switching to ISO8601, if we're going to change
how we datestamp things.

ISO date would be nice indeed.
