Importing and adding files with actual time stamp?
Hi,
is it possible to force subversion to use a files time stamp during import
and add? I would like to preserve the date and time of the file somehow.
This had been a problem in CVS, but perhaps it can be done in subversion?
If so, is there also a way to check out a file recovering its original
time stamp?

my mail client doesn't understand UTF-8, and there might be many
others. Maybe you can write "oe"?

well, in this case, using commit times and "initially one commit per
file" doesn't help.

P.S.: sorry if my forwarded mail arrived crippled in the list.

I want to *abuse* subversion for more than only source code tracking. I
actually used CVS since a couple of years to keep track of all my files
(source code, binary data, text files, whatever). Since I also save
measurement data in my repository (and time stamps do matter for them) I'd
like to have this feature.

That post describes exactly also my dilemma. SVN is quite nice, but I
would be much happier if timestamps would be kept by default!
I hope that this problem really gets to the developers. Would be great to
have that feature!
Marko
(Just to be fair: CVS doesn't keep the timestamps either.
But: Though that's no excuse not to fix this design flaw.)

The last discussion I know of (started

yes/no answer.

Is this patch being planned to become incorporated into subversion by
default at some time?

I see. Is this patch going to be incorporated in subversion in the nearer
future?

You need the meta-data patches/branch for that.
See http://svn.collab.net/viewcvs/svn/branches/meta-data-versioning/ for
the branch; see
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=subversion-dev&m=111459962412224&w=2 for
patches against 1.2.0rc2 (which apply with a small fuzz also against the
released version).
