(First part of the message is re-posted from a previous email that I sent
as a non-member and got lost somewhere...)

- Bugs could record local timezone instead of displaying timestamps as
+0000.

- Regarding the messages saying that BE crashes on different locales due to
strptime failure, I think BE should set the locale to C when serializing
timestamps anyways (possibly retranslating them back to the user-defined
locale when displaying them to the user), as there is no guarantee that all
participants to a project use the same locale.

- I tried to make BE work under Windows (cygwin, to be precise) using a
repo first created under Linux, but there is (at least...) an issue with
the path separator (entries in id-cache do not match paths constructed with
os.path.join/os.path.sep) -- probably some normalization always using
posixpath is necessary (after all "/" is a valid pathsep under Windows too).

Best,

Antony
