| Saving Time Changes</h2> |
| |
| <p>In August 2005 the US Congress passed the Energy Policy Act, which |
| changes the dates of both the start and end of daylight saving time |
| (DST). When this law goes into effect in 2007, DST will start three |
| weeks earlier (2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March) and will |
| end one week later (2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November) |
| than what had traditionally occurred. For more information see: |
| <a href="http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html"> |
| http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html</a></p> |
| |
| <p>These changes to DST do not require any special changes or fixes to |
| the Subversion code. Subversion primarily uses dates/times to record |
| when changes have been committed to the repository. This code runs |
| on the server and gets the current date/time from the operating system |
| and converts it to UTC using routines provided by the operating system. |
| The Subversion client receives these dates from the server and converts |
| them to the local time zone for display using routines provided by |
| the client operating system. As such, you should only need to install |
| the patches provided for your operating system and really you should |
| only need to make sure the time on the server is properly adjusted |
| for DST.</p> |
