On the command line 'date +%W' returns 41 – although here in Germany
it's already 42nd week ... This number is displayed by 'date +%V'. My
documentation says:
%V is replaced by the week number of the year (Monday as the
first day
of the week) as a decimal number (01-53). If the week
containing
January 1 has four or more days in the new year, then it
is week 1;
otherwise it is the last week of the previous year, and
the next
week is week 1.
%W is replaced by the week number of the year (Monday as the
first day
of the week) as a decimal number (00-53).
So %W counts the complete weeks and %V counts the legal weeks. And
(format-time-string "%V") returns 42 for me. See also 'man strftime'.
