Hi,

It does, but the semantics isn't "negative".  A quote:

: All primaries which take a numeric argument allow the number
: to be preceded by a plus sign (``+'') or a minus sign (``-'').
: A preceding plus sign means ``more than n'', a preceding minus
: sign means ``less than n'' and neither means ``exactly n''.

So, -0s would mean that the difference between the current time
and file's modification time is negative.

The reason it was added is to catch common cases of date/time
being set to point to the past.
