Can original file modification times be maintained?

[Tom Malia <to...@ttdsinc.com>]

One thing I use to rely on as a quick visual queue to what has been happing
on a project is the modification dates on the files.  Since moving to
Subversion, this is something I really miss.  Whenever I check anything out
of subversion, all the files checked out have the exact same modification
date which actually has nothing to do with when they were "actually
modified".  Is there any way to preserve the "true" modification date/time
information for file that are maintained in subversion?

 

Thanks in advance,

Tom Malia

Set use-commit-times = yes in the miscellany section of your
configuration file and you should get the local timestamp set to when
the last commit for each file was performed when you checkout/update.

If you want to keep the actual timestamp upon commit, that's an
oft-requested, but as-yet-unimplemented feature.
