Hello,

This might not e related to Go itself, but I noticed that when incrementing a date month by month go sometimes leaps a month.

package main

import "fmt"
import "time"

func main() {
        date := time.Date(2013,time.January,31,23,59,59,0,time.UTC)
        fmt.Println(date.String())
        date = date.AddDate(0,1,0)
        fmt.Println(date.String())
}

Output:
2013-01-31 23:59:59 +0000 UTC
2013-03-03 23:59:59 +0000 UTC

Go version: go1.4.2 linux/amd64
System: Ubuntu 14.04.1

Working as intended. There is no February 31, so what happens here is reasonable. The behavior is even documented in the comment for AddDate - using almost exactly this example!
