What about this language?

	The time of the change is specified by `<time>` as the number of
	seconds since the UNIX epoc (midnight, Jan 1, 1970, UTC) and is
	written in base-10 notation using US-ASCII digits.  The committer's
	timezone is specified by `<tz>` as a positive or negative offset
	from UTC.  For example EST (which is typically 5 hours behind GMT)
	would be expressed in `<tz>` by ``-0500'' while GMT is ``+0000''.
