[Anthill] CVS Repository Adapater Question

[Eric Minick]

Scot,

Looking at the code, I think you're right about the cause. If you're 
daring enough, you could download the source from CVS and change the 
CVS_OUT_DATE date format in the code to the modern version, recompile 
and you'll be set. Otherwise, this is a minor enough fix, I should be 
able to get to it pretty quickly (it's logged in our bug tracker as 
AnthillOS-228). We may want to do this next point release a little 
earlier than planned to get this and the VSS improvements out.

Thanks for letting us know about this Scot.

Regards,

Eric
