:     If the suggestion, "leave a small commit-free window around
: midnight UTC" is adopted, then you could use -D "00:00:00 UTC" and not
: have to worry (although you'd have to translate that to
: "[cc]yy.mm.dd.00.00.00" format for cvsup to process it).

Two minor problems:

1) 00:00:00 utc is the middle of the late afternoon/early evening in the
   US.  A more traditional quiet time is 3am MxT time (GMT-5 or -6
   depending on the time of year).  That's 2am on the pacific coast
   (just after most people tend to stop committing there) and 
   8am in the uk/europe (just before most people start committing
   there).  Traditionally, the tree is quieter then.  This would be
   07:00:00 utc.
2) CVS + date + branch doesn't work.
