But if a local PC was used to work on files, having a current time at checkin
of 11:30 MDT, and the server at time of checkin is 13:35 EDT, this could
seriously screw with any automation that relies on the datetime stamp to know
if a build has already included that change (i.e., cruisecontrol).
Just FYI...
