Subject: [PATCH v3] am: invoke perl's strftime in C locale

From: "Dmitry V. Levin" <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 23:05:17 +0400

This fixes "hg" patch format support for locales other than C and en_*.
Before the change, git-am was making "Date:" line from hg changeset
metadata according to the current locale, and this line was rejected
later with "invalid date format" diagnostics because localized date
strings are not supported.
