There is no "fix" to include. to simplify - the issue is that for a  
brief period of time, which unfortunately included some releases, a  
server upgrade resulted in broken date handling on our CVS server. The  
files produced by CVS commits contained an incorrect date format in  
the tags that CVS places in the file header. This resulted in the  
mismatched dates when the diffs were generated. Now that the server is  
fixed, commits and the diffs now result in the correct date format,  
but there are still files that contain the wrong date format in the  
$Horde:$ tags.

We appologize for the inconvienience and confusion that this may cause.

Thanks,
