The ChangeLog dates as written are only guaranteed to be monotonic, 
not individually accurate.   I don't always recall today's date correctly,
and anyhow if Bastian or Hans-Bernhard  (both up to 10 hrs ahead of me)
has  already made a ChangeLog entry for, say, 5 November, I'll mark my
change as 5 November also even though it's still the 4th in Seattle. 
That way the ChangeLog dates remain monotonic.

Maybe there's a better system, but that's what I've been doing.
