Hi George,

cvs 1.11.x is currently closed for new features.

cvs 1.12.8 and newer versions already have ISO 8601 formats for 'date:'
in the cvs log output. It not an option.

btw: The http://danchev.fccf.net/files/cvs-date-format-1.patch patch
should also contain changes to src/sanity.sh as that is where the bulk
of the work will be for this kind of feature. Look at a cvs 1.12.9
sanity.sh for examples of how to do the change for your cvs 1.11.x
users if you wish to continue to make the patch available to people.

        Enjoy!
