Those are both valid... you don't actually *need* a timestamp, but it 
does help on some operations.  CVSNT will preserve it whenever 
possible.. maybe CVS 1.11.16 deletes it?

That's bizarre.  I'm guessing it's a side-effect of the merge.  The 
server sent a 'new entry' and also a timestamp for the file.

If the server is sending this then it's presumably designed to handle 
the results... the CVSNT client just passes these strings around without 
doing a lot with them, so it's unaffected.
