This lets administrators reindex specific time ranges according to git "approxidate" formats. These arguments are passed directly to underlying git-log(1) invocations and may still reach into old epochs. Since these options rely on git committer dates (which we infer from the most recent Received: header), they are not guaranteed to be strictly tied to git history and it's possible to over/under-reindex some messages. It's probably not a major problem in practice, though; reindexing a few extra messages is generally harmless aside from some extra device wear. Since this currently relies on git-log, these options do not affect -extindex, yet.
