>Description:
I have been tyring to use the -D option unsuccessfully.  Below is a sample of a 
cvs command and the subsequent error message I received.

% cvs -q diff -D "2000-11-01 23:59:59-08"
cvs [diff aborted]: Can't parse date/time: 2000-11-01 23:59:59-08

If I change the year to 1999, the date/time is parsed correctly.
