My understanding is no, there is no difference, I haven't looked closely 
at that part of the code, but went through exactly this a few months 
back. We had to back out from 1.12, because the date format has been 
changed in 1.12 and there were still CVS clients out there that did not 
support the new format (Intellig was one of them, but there were at 
least one or two others).
