+ + + +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. This change was not adopted +by all countries. For more information see: +http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html
+ +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.
