Description DJ Houghton CLA 2011-08-15 17:40:12 EDT 
When I use the latest scripts to tag for the build, I get the following error:

date: illegal option -- -
usage: date [-jnu] [-d dst] [-r seconds] [-t west] [-v[+|-]val[ymwdHMS]] ... 
            [-f fmt date | [[[mm]dd]HH]MM[[cc]yy][.ss]] [+format]

It appears that my "date" command doesn't accept the --date arg.

Andrew and I have looked into it more and these appear to work. We get the Unix format back from the "git log" command and then convert it.

equinox:~/git/rt.equinox.p2$ git log -1 --format="%ct"
1313423013

equinox:~/git/rt.equinox.p2$ date -u -j -f "%s" "1313423013" "+%Y%m%d-%H%M"

I have updated the script to use an alternate date syntax on mac.
