In such a case, xarray thinks the time co-ordinates are different and won't load and combine the files automatically. This PR identifies this issue. I've also put in a hack solution but there must be a better way to handle this edge case.

This identifies (and hopefully soon fixes) an issue with decoding times that are way into the future. Without re-introducing a change made in #4684, the test fails (see https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/5050/checks?check_run_id=2136824754). With the change put back in, the test passes (see https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/5050/checks?check_run_id=2136892412).

@spencerkclark can I ask for your help on this one please? It seems that the removal in #4684 caused this case (which wasn't tested) to break in v0.17 and it's unclear to me where the fix should be (I'm guessing pandas from the discussions in #4684...).","{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/5050/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,,13221727,pull
