Update -D has always been a bit strange - I can remember back when I
first started using cvs it confused me what it was returning. I tend to
just use it to date granularity these days and don't worry about the time.
In a way it makes sense - it's returning the versions from the correct
local time.. it's just the timestamps that cvs then shows you are from
UTC, so you end up with confusion.
