tortoise svn 1.7 - date format of $Date $

Question

We are using different PCs (some of them windows xp, some of them windows 7). With tortoise and the tags I've detected some problem resulting in problems comparing complete trees 1:1.

One system is replacing the date tag to:

$Date: 2015-02-27 17:14:05 +01000 (Fr, 27 Feb 2015) $

Another system gives on the same source code status

$Date: 2015-02-27 17:14:05 +01000 (Fr, 27. Feb 2015) $

By performing a compare then every file is marked as different, because after the day (number) there is a point or no point.

It seems that all xp installations are working without points, the win 7 ones with points. But I'm not sure.

Answer 1

I experience exactly the same issue with the dot in the $Date-tag using Win7 and TortoiseSVN 1.9.2 (will be updated now to the latest and greatest; 1.9.5). Did anyone discover the reason and can provide a solution?

Problem is: all of those files will show up as "changed" with the ongoing behaviour which clutters view on the real changeset of commits. (One way to fix this, would be to write a script and run it everytime before/after commit.. But there has to be a way to influence the formatting of that string.)
