Re: RCS Keyword Expansion format for dates

[Aaron S. Hawley]

I presume you mean the $Id$ keyword, not $Revision$.

I believe you could use the -z option to change the timezone and then
hopefully the date format.  You can specify the -z option for all RCS
operations by using the RCSINIT

Coincidentally, the date format you want is what I see by default.

# cat foo
$Id: foo,v 1.1 2011/02/21 14:03:57 ahawley Exp $
# export RCSINIT=-zLT
# co foo
foo,v  -->  foo
revision 1.1
done
# cat foo
$Id: foo,v 1.1 2011-02-21 09:03:57-05 ahawley Exp $
