title:RCS Keywords, date, etc. and timezone hints keywords:rcs,ci,co,cvs,time,zone,udt,keywords,date,id,revision, description:Keyword variables available in RCS, and how to force the timezone to be local. See "man co" for RCS keywords including: $Author$ $Date$ $Header$ $Id$ $Locker$ $Log$ $Name$ $RCSfile$ $Revision$ $Source$ $State$ Dates default to UDT (heaven only knows why they don't default to the local timezone). I tried entering -zEDT, but that resulted in some very strange looking timestamps. -zLT memnonic for Local Timezone works just fine. CVS has the same "feature", but I haven't bothered to figure out if the -z option works with CVS or what is necessary to get CVS to use the local timezone. Checkin your file with a command like this: ci -zLT -m"checkin comment" -l file Here is an example snippet from of Perl source: #!/usr/bin/perl # $Id: tom.pm,v 1.7 2006-12-07 14:04:43-05 mdt3k Exp mdt3k $
