fixing timestamps on many files

[allan juul]

hi

before i do something stupid i'd just like to know what would the best 
way to fix a major timestamp problem in our repository.

problem
-------

about 2.000 files have a timestamp in the year 2011. i basically just 
want to touch these files and commit that "change". what is the best way 
to do it.



the possible fix
----------------

first i thought i just write a script that did the touching of the 
involved files and then fix the CVS/Entries files accordingly but found 
that i needed to actually modify the files as well [so i just put a 
newline in the end].

but this is now getting out of hand due to the fact we also have binary 
files such as word, powerpoint docs.

then i thought i'd just do a search & replace inside the actual 
repository files. but i guess that would create a problem for all the 
working directories on peoples machines, which in essence would now be 
needing a "cvs update".


cause
-----

i'm of course also interested in hearing the possible cause of our 
problem which - incedentially pehaps - began a day after DST. but here 
and now i just want a proper "dated" repository.


thanks
