Apologies if this made it to the list before. Our mail system has been flakey
recently. It's possible that my previous post never made it or that i missed the
responses.
I'm using cvs 1.11.1p1 on my linux box and WinCVS 1.2 on my w2k box. Both working with
the same cvs repository running in pserver mode on a linux box.
I've noticed that WinCVS uses date formats like this:
Fri Jun 01 04:05:39 2001
While the command line linux cvs client uses this format:
Fri Jun 1 04:05:39 2001
This is only a problem on the 1st -> 9th of each month.
This causes me a problem when i'm using WinCVS and 'cvs' on the same project. If i
checkin a page with cvs, then WinCVS is convinced that the file is not current.
Running 'status' within wincvs fixes the problem.
Conversely if i check in a file using WinCVS, then 'cvs' is convinced that the page is
not current.
The result of this is that i end up doing unnecessary checkins and sometimes dont know
whether a checking is required or not.
The output below sorts of illustrates the problem. At no point during this did i
actually edit index.php
