RE: Date formats

The manual states it accepts dates in ISO 8601 format
(http://www.iso.ch/markete/8601.pdf).

In truth, it appears to support a subset of these formats.

I've sucessfully used:

[Ddd] Mon dd [hh[:mm[:ss]]] yyyy [TZ]
yyyy-mm-dd [hh[:mm[:ss]]]
yyyy[mm[dd[Thh[:mm[:ss]]]]

(where [] denotes an optional element) with cvs 1.11.

There are *tons* more.  I've discovered these mostly by trial and error.

What specifically are you looking for?
