I don't know if you've already covered this, but the bonsai commit
handler stored dates in the mysql DB in local time (one of the few
differences between the bonsai and viewcvs commit DBs).

This will probably result in the old data being offset by about 4-5
hours, which isn't a big problem.  It should make the "commits in the
last X hours" option in viewcvs's commit interface a bit more useful
though ...

I guess with the current schedule for switching to Subversion, this
isn't that big an issue though.
