Subversion is formatting a string from a time (strftime), so a repeated placeholder is OK. You're trying to _parse_ a time from a string (strptime). If you're telling it that 2 different parts of the string are the date, what should it do? The Pythonic thing to do is raise an exception. (I suppose an alternative would be to raise an exception only if they give different results.)
