Remove the reference to the GIT_TEST_DATE_NOW which is done in date.c.
The intialization of variable x with the value from GIT_TEST_DATE_NOW
is unneeded since x is initalized by skip_prefix().

It took me a minute to understand what this second sentence meant. I'd
have actually expected "x" to go away, looking at the diff context.

Maybe a more clear explanation would be: We can't get rid of the "x"
variable, since it serves as a generic scratch variable for parsing
later in the function.

(I'd also probably have just rolled this into patch 1, but I'm OK with
it either way).

Thanks for saying everything ;-)  I have nothing to add.
