Absolutely it should.

But I'm surprised, because the dates used by cvs log look like this:

    2000/11/07 19:13:09

and our dates look like this:

   Wed 12 Jun 2002 15:06:29

... both of which should be handled fine by getdate().

So I tested... CVS parses its own dates just fine, and parses ours too
(I don't know what the FreeBSD developers experienced). Subversion,
on the other hand, parses neither :-)

   subversion/clients/cmdline/main.c:894
   svn_error: #21114 : (Client error in parsing arguments)
     Unable to parse "Wed 12 Jun 2002 12:07:56"

Looks like we've got some catching up to do!
