Hello Derek, Daniel, IIRC this has everything to do with NTFS which stores file times in GMT instead of local time like FAT* does. And that goes <bang> whenever daylight saving time changes...
I can't find any setting in Windows to get around this, and in fact tools like Total Commander (a file manager not unlike Norton Commander) have special options for this which instruct the tool to ignore any 1-hour differences in file times on NTFS. (I suppose the CVS fix works along the same lines). Just wanted to clarify that it is not so much a Windows stat() bug than it is an NTFS feature.

There was a problem to this effect which was fixed in the CVS client in November of 2000, between releases 1.11 and 1.11.1. What version of the CVS client are you using? The bug is actually in Windows. The Windows stat() function returns times that are 3600 seconds (1 hour) off when daylight savings time is in effect, contrary to the POSIX specification (which specifies that times be returned in UTC). CVS, since version 1.11.1, has subtracted the extra hour from file modification times as a workaround for the Windows bug. Of course, you should get a six month break from your problem in a few weeks without upgrading.
