5.6 Dates
The protocol contains times and dates in various places.

and update
requests, the server should support two formats:
26 May 1997 13:01:40 -0000 ; RFC 822 as modified by RFC 1123 5/26/1997 13:01:40 GMT ; traditional |
The former format is preferred; the latter however is sent by the CVS command line client (versions 1.5 through at least 1.9).
For the ‘-d’ option to the log
and rlog
requests,
servers should at
least support RFC 822/1123 format. Clients are encouraged to use this
format too (the command line CVS client, version 1.10 and older, just passed
along the date format specified by the user, however).
The Mod-time
response and Checkin-time
request use RFC
822/1123 format (see the descriptions of that response and request for
details).
For Notify
, see the description of that request.
