They only have the trigger information, and whereas there are plans to
improve that for 2.5.04 (eg. return code in postcommit) I'm not sure
I'll be able to get hold of the date in any generic format... if I could 
I'd get day/month/year etc. in separate variables for parsing by 
CVSROOT/keywords (so you could make any date format you wanted).

IIRC cvshome made cvs log produce local time by default (rather than as 
an option as it is in cvsnt) and even that small change screwed up many 
frontends...
