Regression testing sadness

[Louis. Lenders]

Hi, i tried to do a regression test for a bug (bug
4370)

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.

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.
