Comment(by vinc17):
I'd say that the date should correspond to the latest change in the local
repository. I've attached the current patch I'm using: it takes into
account the last 20 changesets.
Note that if the user applies custom patches, the date no longer has much
meaning, except for himself. In such a case he can use a custom User-Agent
string. This is what I do, e.g.
{{{Mutt/1.5.19-5804-vl-r28634 (2009-05-13)}}}
where 5804 is the upstream revision, 28634 is the revision of my patches
in my own repository, 2009-05-13 is the upstream date.
