When the RTC preinit function fails, set the system clock to the time of
the last modification of the driftfile if it's in the future. This makes
the -s option somewhat useful on systems where RTC is not supported or
missing.
This is similar to the functionality implemented in the fake-hwclock
script.
This is a verbatim copy of the files at that stage of the repository that was
built from the CVS import. It allows future development to see a bit of recent
history, but without carrying around the baggage going back to 1997. If that
is really required, git grafts can be used.
