i just converted my vss database to svn using vss2svn 0.11.0 alpha 1 and i noticed all the times are off by my timezone offset. it seems that vss2svn doesn't convert times to utc before handing them over to subversion (i'm assuming svn uses utc and vss doesn't). i live in -1000. source safe says i checked a file in on 2006-08-03 at 10:32 but subversion says i committed the same file in at 2006-08-03 00:32. files committed to subversion after the vss2svn conversion show the correct time.

- status changed from new to closed.
- resolution set to fixed.
The problem is, that vss stores times as seconds in the unix epoch. The stored time is the local time and not the utc time. Since subversion thinks in UTC we need to calculate the local timeshift and turn back into utc.
Fixed in [280]
