Most definitely this would trigger a "bug" in cvsps. I say "bug", because 
really, there are no changesets in CVS, and cvsps just tries to guess 
which revisions belong together by looking at the timestamp and the commit 
message.

That date is definitely wrong (since the next file revision, 1.3 is in the 
year 1998 again). It is not only misleading cvsps, but it actually makes 
the repository less useful. I wonder how you can make that happen, though. 
It is not like I can edit the date of a file revision with CVS (unless I 
edit the ,v file).

Ciao,
