Description

This is item #5 from Greg Hudson's mail about 2.0 API improvements:

   http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=67095

"Our timestamp parser should eliminate support for the deprecated format."

I believe this refers to the following in libsvn_subr/time.c:

   /* Our old timestamp strings looked like this:
    * 
    *    "Tue 3 Oct 2000 HH:MM:SS.UUU (day 277, dst 1, gmt_off -18000)"
    *
    * The idea is that they are conventionally human-readable for the
    * first part, and then in parentheses comes everything else required
    * to completely fill in an apr_time_exp_t: tm_yday, tm_isdst,
    * and tm_gmtoff.
    *
    * This format is still recognized on input, for backward
    * compatibility, but no longer generated.
    */
   static const char * const old_timestamp_format =
   "%3s %d %3s %d %02d:%02d:%02d.%06d (day %03d, dst %d, gmt_off %06d)";
