one problem is summertime and windows.

What is the problem with summertime ?  When switching to daylight 
saving, the time zone changes.  Eg ours goes from +12 to +13.

the problems is reported in rambo ticket, will find it for you - 
it can report two zones +1 or + 2 here, and it is a problem - it 
depends if you skip the time the time is switched on, or if you go 
thru it ...

it may be bug in Windows, but it needs to be sorted out. With Ladislav 
we even wrapped some Win32 funcs I found in rebol.exe, but watched 
nothing obvious ...

Basically the filedates reported by windows are not adjusted to summertime. 
so after summertime-change the older files are one hour off. sometimes. 
depends on things like partition-types and dont know what else.

They are with NTFS (which may be UTC internally), but are not adjusted 
with Fat (12/16/32) which stores files in local time.

FAT also stores file dates in 2-second increments, so file times 
can adjust up to two seconds when copied between FAT and NTFS. File 
times in ZIP files have the same restriction because of ZIP's DOS 
origins.

using tortoise SVN, how can I checkout just a single file?  here 
it complains about only wanting to checkout directories.... which 
is a bit dumb IMHO.


note, this checkout occurs in a new checkout area, the directories 
on the repository aren't anywhere else.  I just want to pick out 
one file from a repository and use just that elsewhere.

try svn cat   and copy /pipe the result where you want
