While Chrome, Firefox, and IE 6+ support the current date format being
passed to Date(), Safari doesn't:
> new Date('Mon Oct 24 13:58:01 2011 +0200')
Invalid Date
However, the rfc822date format--officially supported by
ECMAScript[1]--does work:
> new Date('Mon, 24 Oct 2011 13:58:01 +0200')
Mon Oct 24 2011 04:58:01 GMT-0700 (PDT)
This change replaces all instances of {date|date} in HTML with
{date|rfc822date}. For elements that only have the "age" class,
there's no outward change for users with JavaScript enabled. For
elements with both the "age" and "date" classes, the full date
displayed uses the new format.
Tested in IE 6, Safari 5.1.1, Google Chrome 15, and Firefox 7.0.1.

The plus and minus characters are normally not the same width in a
non-monospace font, and this made the line length change when the
diffstat display was toggled.
The square brackets are not rendered in a monospace font to ensure
that they align with the parenthesis on the same line.
Displayed in a row of the changeset summary table, underneath the list of
files. When the page is loaded, only the diff summary is displayed. The full
diffstat is only displayed when the [+] link is selected.
This allow safe caching of the pages by the browser and still display the right
amount of elapsed time upon page refresh.
If javascript is disabled, absolute time is displayed, leaving it readable.
All the templates have been updated.
When issuing `hg pull -r REV` in a repo with no common ancestor with the
remote repo, the message 'requesting all changes' is printed, even though only
the changese that are ancestors of REV are actually requested. This can be
confusing for users (see
http://www.selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial/2010-October/035508.html).
This silences the message if (and only if) the '-r' option was passed.
