Those boxes only act as a filter on the data you already have, and you
cannot select a date outside that range. You need to use either get
all or get range to download more data, then use the filters.

AFAIK subversion does not support getting log information by date, so
post-processing is our only option. In fact I don't think the dates
even have to be in order. It is just a rev-prop which can be set and
edited to anything you like, and some VCS converters do generate a
repository with out-of-date-order revisions.
