-------------------------------------------

Are aware that the dateFormat parameter is not a presentation parameter? In the 
plugin documentation at
  
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-changelog-plugin/changelog-mojo.html#dateFormat
it says:

"Used to specify the date format of log entries to retrieve. This format will 
also be reflected in the reports."

Digging into maven-scm, which is used to retrieve data from your SCM,  I found 
this documentation in ScmProvider.java:

"the date pattern use in changelog output returned by scm tool"

So this is the format of the dates that come back from your subversion 
repository when you request a changelog from it. Try running this command in 
the root of your project:

svn log pom.xml

Look at the dates and see what format they have. If the have the format 
"yyyy-MM-dd" then you shouldn't be setting the dateFormat at all, since that is 
the default format. If they are in another format please report back with a 
snippet of the output from the svn command.
