I don't understand what you mean. What matters for the order of commits is the global time, and this is what SVN stores. SVN does not store timezone information, i.e. it has no idea of what local time of the user had, but I don't think this is important information. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
