Make patch date parsing simpler and stricter (#15)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Removed the distinction between parsed and raw dates and simply return
an error for unsupported date formats. Arbitrary date support was
probably a premature optimization and would be better supported by a
method to register custom date parsing functions.

Simple time.Time fields make the structure easier to use and mean that
a zero value always indicates the patch did not include a date.
