Matthew Barnett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

Subversion is formatting a string from a time (strftime), so a repeated
placeholder is OK.

You're trying to _parse_ a time from a string (strptime). If you're
telling it that 2 different parts of the string are the date, what
should it do? The Pythonic thing to do is raise an exception.

(I suppose an alternative would be to raise an exception only if they
give different results.)
