How will having the time stamp help you match exactly the users code?

The more reliable way would be for the user to
commit (buggy code),
put a tag on their now committed sandbox,
report the bug against the tag, which you can then checkout against and 
actually get what they were working with (assuming they actually committed ALL 
the buggy code).

Some part of me is screaming: Why are they reporting bugs against a baseline 
that was not tagged to begin with? But we may be able to beat that loud mouth 
down.
