Description

I was writing a program to parse the output of svn log and I needed to know
whether the "hour" of the date was "0-23" or "1-24".  I looked in the book: [chp
9 ref].[The subversion command line client].[svn subcommands].[svn log] hoping
to find some detailed info on the output format but didn't find any.  I started
to look at the source code but quickly became lost.  Finally I enlisted in the
svn project and searched for dates that matched either hour 24 or 0.

$ svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk svn
$ cd svn
$ for f in subversion/clients/cmdline/* ; do svn log $f ; done > out
$ grep ^r out | egrep ' (00|24):'

... etc ...

Anyway, this wasn't that big of a deal (hence P5) but it would be nice if one of
the examples listed in the svn log chapter showed at least one log entry for the
hour past midnight.
