RE: Why $Id$ has Z - time? Configurable

G'day Clemens,

I could be wrong, but it looks to me like Subversion is using ISO8601
format [1] for the date/time, in which case the "Z" indicates that the
value is in UTC (which is almost, but not quite, identical to GMT).

AFAIK this isn't configurable, and I'm not sure whether allowing it to
be configured would make sense (consider a chronologically distributed
team, where each team member could be working on any file in the
repository - which timezone should Subversion use for each file?).

Cheers,
Peter
