[cvsnt] [cvsnt 2.0.58c] rcsdiff date reporting bug

Tue Nov 2 17:33:27 GMT 2004

Hi,

I've just noticed a bug when running an rcsdiff on two versions of a file

If I use the following command:
rcsdiff -c -r 1.1.2.1. -r 1.1.2.2 afile,v

I the following is output:

RCS file: afile,v
retrieving revision 1.1.2.1
retrieving revision 1.1.2.2
diff -c -r1.1.2.1 -r1.1.2.2
*** afile 2004/09/28 17:24:05     1.1.2.1
--- afile 2004/10/02 14:40:23     1.1.2.2
***************
*** 5,11 ****
<snip>

The issue is that the dates displayed here are in fact retarded by a month
from those contained in the actual ,v file so version 1.1.2.1 was actually
committed on 2004/10/28 and version 1.1.2.2 has a timestamp of 2004/11/02.

Is this a known issue?
