Bug Description
Binary package hint: cvs
After an an ubuntu upgrade I now have cvs-1.12 when I was using the older cvs-1.11.
The problem is that somewhere along the line somebody has decided to replace the the header expansion logic for dates from yyyy/mm/dd to yyyy-mm-dd format.
While yyyy-mm-dd may be ISO standards based, the change in format has completely invalidated every cvs repository created and maintained with the 1.11 version that have checked out files as cvs diff, checkout, commit et al all return the file with the new format and then report the files as different purely based upon the expansion lines.
From what I can find on the NET the / format is in the offical format.
Perhaps the maintainer can provide a command line option to support the older version?
