how to fix timestamps in bk repo?

[Jasper Spaans]

Hi Larry,

Is it possible to reset the (BK-)timestamps on the following files in the
http://linus.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5 repository? Somehow, they've gotten a
timestamp which lies in the future, causing lots of warnings when I use a bk
exported tree.

./drivers/base/class.c
./drivers/pci/hotplug/rpaphp_pci.c
./drivers/pci/hotplug/rpaphp_slot.c
./drivers/pci/hotplug/rpaphp_vio.c
./include/linux/kobject.h
./lib/kobject.c

Regards,

Sounds like a local problem.  I bet this will fix it:
	ntpdate time.nist.gov
	bk -r clean
	bk -r co -q

The timestamps on checked-out files are not generated from any BitKeeper 
metadata, but instead reflect the machine's system time when the file 
was checked out.

Sorry, the timestamps are part of the BK metadata and there isn't any way
to alter them after the fact.  

I'd suggest you not use the -T option to export or write a script that 
looks for timestamps in the future and fix them.

For everyone else, please keep your clocks in sync.  Whoever generated
these deltas must be running a very old version of BK (which is a license
violation by the way [whoohoo, we can now have 3 weeks of flames about
that horrible BK license that if people were obeying this wouldn't
have happened]).  Current versions of BK insist that your clock isn't
off by more than 24 hours (I suspect that this works only if you have
a net connection though, I don't remember).

Ack. I just tried something with the following result:

---8<---
# This is a BitKeeper generated diff -Nru style patch.
#
# drivers/base/class.c
#   2004/06/04 19:55:06+02:00 spaans@spaans.vs19.net +0 -1
#   Fix timestamp
# 
# drivers/base/class.c
#   2004/06/04 19:54:56+02:00 spaans@spaans.vs19.net +1 -0
# 
# ChangeSet
#   2004/06/04 19:55:32+02:00 spaans@spaans.vs19.net 
#   class.c:
#     Fix timestamp
# 
---8<---

Can anyone confirm that importing this does the trick? If so, I'll whip up
the 'patch' for all six files.
