Ok, can we get an option to CVS to say "This date is in the format that
you output"? (Example: cvs log to find out what time an untagged commit
of a dozen files was made, then give that exact time string back to CVS
on an update).
(I've never had any luck with time formats, other than 'xxx hours ago'.
Being able to say 'This is exactly what you spit out' would be very
useful. And, this little difference -- the output times and the input
times are 6 hours off -- is annoying, and bit me until I realized it.
I'm sure it bytes others as well.)
