Hi,

Consider using ctm - that will give you two kinds of stamps:
* The ctm delta id (e.g., OpenBSD-cvs 1939.)
* The time the applied delta was generated (e.g., 20010930101057Z.)

The first will give you a baseline for what cvs-repo you checked out
the source from (or what source you used if using OpenBSD-src); the
latter will at least indicate that you get no files committed (really:
committed _and_ synced out to the delta generating machine) later than
2001-09-30 10:10:57 UTC:-)
