Bug Description
When I right click a file and choose to restore a previous version (yay!), Deja Dup offers a list of dates to restore from. This list has dates formatted like the following:
12-04-11
12-04-04
12-03-30
This appears to be one of the date formats according to my selected region (Canada), but the format is also very, very difficult to understand. There is no space limitation here, so there should be nothing stopping the dialog from using a more expressive format (like 11 April 2012).

I agree. But I don't know a better way to get better date strings.
To get technical with strftime format strings (http:// linux.die. net/man/ 3/strftime), the current method uses "%c". I don't know of a format string that would use the preferred ordering of long-form date/time elements for the locale.
