    Hi,
      CVSMonitor seems to think all revisions are 7 hours later than they really are.
      I'm in Pacific daylight time, which is 7 hours behind GMT.  When I commit files to CVS, it stores the dates in GMT.  For example, I commited a change at 1820 PDT.  In the CVS repository, the time is 0120 the next day, which corresponds to GMT.  CVSMonitor, however, states the time is 0820 the next day, which is GMT+7, rather than PDT+7.  It appears that CVSMonitor expects CVS time to be local, whereas for me, at least, it's GMT.
      I'm using CVS 1.11.9, and if this is a CVS issue, I apologize, I've just begun using it and so am not too familiar with all its options.

      This is a programming problem.

      There are just so many possible different time combinations involved that I can't find a suitable algorithm for making them all to play nicely together...

      So you can often get a timezone related mismatch. Hell I wrote the bloody thing and even my stuff is out. I just don't have the time to resolve all the connections and conversions.
