hibefore i do something stupid i'd just like to know what would the best way to fix a major timestamp problem in our repository.
problem -------about 2.000 files have a timestamp in the year 2011. i basically just want to touch these files and commit that "change". what is the best way to do it.
the possible fix ----------------first i thought i just write a script that did the touching of the involved files and then fix the CVS/Entries files accordingly but found that i needed to actually modify the files as well [so i just put a newline in the end].
but this is now getting out of hand due to the fact we also have binary files such as word, powerpoint docs.
then i thought i'd just do a search & replace inside the actual repository files. but i guess that would create a problem for all the working directories on peoples machines, which in essence would now be needing a "cvs update".
cause -----i'm of course also interested in hearing the possible cause of our problem which - incedentially pehaps - began a day after DST. but here and now i just want a proper "dated" repository.
thanks ./allan
