Judging from your mail headers, you are currently at GMT-04:00 due to daylight savings. The time in CVS/Entries is supposed to be UTC (=GMT). You should make sure that for a freshly checked out file, this is indeed the case. If it isn't, it's a setup problem with CVS and/or Cygwin or Windows. It doesn't really matter what time you get in a directory listing -- the operating system is supposed to show you local time, but Emacs mtime (in file-attributes) must, once again, be UTC. I'm not familiar with NT at all, and I don't know how timezones are managed on that operating system usually. On Unix, the system clock runs in UTC, which is converted to local time only upon display. I suspect that somewhere in there, you have a daylight savings misconfiguration -- maybe some part of your system thinks it is running under DST, and another doesn't. Hope this helps.
