Comment (by Aaron):
By what criteria do they have the "wrong" date and time? Tags in CVS
don't have a timestamp, nor a committer. A CVS tag is just a list of file
revisions, each with its own timestamp and committer.
I suppose you could make a case for looking at the timestamps of all the
revisions and using the latest one as the time of the tag. (I'm pretty
sure I considered this at the time I wrote the code, but I ended up not
implementing it; I don't remember if it turned out to be hard to do, or if
I realized it was a bad idea for some reason...) But is it really worth
it, given that whatever date we use will be bogus anyway?
