Hi, i tried to do a regression test for a bug (bug 4370)
I also got very confused by the dates used in CVS and wine-cvs list. The CVS time is the time of Minneapolis. The commit message is in CET (UTC+1). You can see the +1 is in the Date field of the email. I would recommend git for regression testing: http://wiki.winehq.org/GitWine Didn't use it yet for regression testing but from the description it sounds very easy. No need for the wine-cvs mailing list at all.

This is what i found: cvs update -PAd -D "2006-01-06 15:52:12 CDT" --> no bug cvs update -PAd -D "2006-01-06 15:52:13 CDT" --> bug.
Now in the cvs list i see absolutely no patch committed at that time. With some effort i found out that the patch should be: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-cvs/2006-January/020141.html
There are two time's given on this page: Fri Jan 6 14:49:30 CST 2006 on top and in the middle: Date: Fri Jan 6 21:15:48 2006 +0100
Now either i'm doing something completely wrong, or something is really wrong with the regression testing (documentation). at least it's very confusing! Anyone can help? BTW i did not have this trouble finding a regression in another bug , where the patch was committed about a half year ago.
