crew: qrefresh -D/-d confusion

[Peter Arrenbrecht]

qref -D never inserts dates. It only updates them when the original
patch already contained them. The idea is that you can safely have

  [defaults]
  qrefresh = -D

in your .hgrc without worrying about adding dates to patches that did
not use to have them.
