Does Bazaar cope correctly with this, assuming the > time-zone information is set correctly in the Registry? AFAIK, bzr does not use time-stamps in a semantics-significant way. So at most you may notice a slight performance hit when the time changes because Bzr ends up scanning more files than strictly needed. But it won't change the data sent over the network, AFAIK. Stefan
