I have a release script which does some tagging and committing 
automatically.  Although it wouldn't hit this limitation, that's only 
because it doesn't use branch tags.  If, on the limited sample provided 
by this ML, I'm almost hitting the limitation, it sounds like people in 
the wider world are almost certain to hit it.

Generally, I'm in agreement with you about using RCS data.  Apart from 
the lack of time resolution and the potential interaction with scripts 
as noted above, time has a tendency to sometimes jump around on 
non-NTP-synced machines (admin notices it's a minute off, corrects it).

Presumably, for CVS to work, the RCS data would have to be correct, 
whereas CVS doesn't use the date values?
