+          The <code>dateFormat</code> parameter is used when parsing the dates
+          from the log entries retrieved from your SCM system. It can
+          <strong>not</strong> be used to format the dates in the report. If
+          you try to do this the parsed dates will be wrong and the dates in
+          the report even more so. They can look like this
+          <code>0020-05-27</code> for a file that was changed on 14 december
+          2005.
