I had considered forcing the time to MAX_TIME_T, but decided against
it because I didn't want all too-large timestamps to end up with an
identical time value (since it would make finding changed files
difficult).  I ended up outputting a warning and allowing the value
to get truncated.  This preserves the ability for rsync to figure
out if a file has changed, though it does end up setting the file's
time into the past.
