I've seen this before. It is because 02:33:28 is a non-existent time in
areas where Daylight Savings exists. There is a gap as the time shoots from
02:00 to 03:00 on that day.
Elsewhere in ViewCVS, we deal with that by advancing the parsed date by one
hour, then constructing the Python time.
The rcsparse in the current ViewCVS CVS repos has a fix for this problem,
but I don't like it. (note that rcsparse turned from a simple module into a
package) The package depends on an external module named "compat" which
lives in the ViewCVS library. That isn't "Right", so I'm trying to figure
out a better way to organize the code in there.
[ at some point, we're going to take a snapshot of rcsparse and just put
that into svn's tree to make it easier for people to use cvs2svn ]

You can manually adjust them by one hour.
Even better, take a look at the function parse_log_entry() in viewcvs.py.
You'll see the funny business about advancing by one hour. You can replicate
that portion of the code into your rcsparse.py where it calls mktime().
