The default date format changed in 1.12.x to use ISO date format by
default. In the Debian package I've added an option to keep using the
old date format. Add the following to $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/config:

  # For the new CVS version 1.12 turn log dates back to the old format
  DateFormat=old

if you'd prefer that.
