The client will receive the revisions that were in effect at the specified date and time. At present, the date format is inflexible. All 17 or 19 characters must be specified, exactly as shown. For the years 2000 and beyond, specify the century cc. For earlier years, specify only the last two digits yy. Dates and times are considered to be GMT. The default date is `.', which means ``as late as possible''. " My entry in the stable-supfile *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4 date=[cc]03.04.19.00.00.00 when I run the cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile I got the error Invalid date "[cc]03.04.19.00.00.00" What is the correct entry for this?. I want to get the 4.8-STABLE date on 2003-APRIL-19-12:00 PM Thanks for all the your help.
