Making date timestamp the changelog

[Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>]

I am having problems getting date to produce the date in the format for
the changelog. It is probably just ignorance, although I have read the
date manpage frontwards and backwards, there is no definition of datestr.
The closest I have gotten is:

date -d "+%a, +%d +%B +%Y +%T"

which gives the error: "invalid date format"

Ian, how do you do this? Anybody? 

TIA,

Dwarf
