It just uses the standard $Date: $ CVS mojo. Nothing special going on |
| 9 |
here. The format it generates is definitely machine parseable, though it |
| 10 |
isn't internationalized. |

If internationalization is a primary goal of the GLEP, then I'd suggest |
| 13 |
simply changing the Last-Modified field to a manual one and having folks |
| 14 |
input it directly. If the primary goal is simply to make sure machines can |
| 15 |
parse the date, then I'd say it meets that goal already. |

I'd really rather avoid using custom hooks or anything that hacks CVS at |
| 18 |
all. It's our most critical application, so we try to be extra cautious |
| 19 |
about making changes that aren't absolutely necessary. |

If there's another way to do this (i.e. manual entry) then I'd rather go |
| 22 |
that route and see how it works before looking at hacking on cvs. |
