So, let me get this straight - you want to change the timestamp of the checkin.
First of all, why? Is there a specific reason you want to rewrite history? I'd be concerned about what would happen if you changed the timestamps such that an earlier revision number has a later date than a later revision number, i.e.: rev 1.1: January 6, 2005 rev 1.2: December 31, 2004 I suspect that might confuse CVS somewhat. -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
