According to The International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) we have
"Leap Seconds" included in our UTC time.
Please refer http://hpiers.obspm.fr/iers/bul/bulc/bulletinc.dat .
~ snip ~
A positive leap second will be introduced at the end of June 2012.
The sequence of dates of the UTC second markers will be:
2012 June 30, 23h 59m 59s
2012 June 30, 23h 59m 60s
2012 July 1, 0h 0m 0s
~snap~
The command 'date' doesn't calculate it.
Test:
$ date +%s -d "2012-06-30 23:59:60"
date: invalid date `2012-06-30 23:59:60'
Tested version:
date (GNU coreutils) 8.5
