Bug Description

Go to a party!
Take some photos during the evening.
Stay up beyond midnight, taking more photos.
Get home, sleep, recover.

In the morning, import your photos into shotwell.

Observe the format of the date from your photos is somewhat obscure.

E.g.
"Fri 4 Nov -5, 2011"

I realise this means "photos taken from 4th to 5th November", but the format is somewhat bizarre.

Perhaps any of the following:-
"4-5 Nov, 2011"
"4th to 5th Nov, 2011"
"Fri 4 - Sat 5, Nov 2011"

See screenshot.
