Retaining file timestamps at import/commit.

Hi,

I'm trying to 'retrospectively' import a project. I've got a bunch of older 
versions stored in several directories:

drwxrwxr-x   2 root     ildev       3072 Jun  6  2002 ismncc.5.20
drwxrwxr-x   2 root     ildev       2560 Jun 24  2002 ismncc.5.21
drwxrwxr-x   2 root     ildev       2048 Jul 15  2002 ismncc.5.23
drwxrwxr-x   2 root     ildev       3072 Nov 17 05:17 ismncc.5.24
drwxrwxr-x   2 root     ildev       3072 Nov 17 05:17 ismncc.5.25

So I want to:
- import ismncc version 5.20, 
- check it out somewhere,
- copy 5.21 on top, fix added files etc, and commit 5.21.
- etc, until current version.

Now, can I do this while keeping the original timestamps of all the files? I 
tried (in CVS also), but after an import all timestamps are set to the 
current time. CVS has an import -d flag (which doesn't work for client/server 
CVS).

Same for commit: can I commit 5.21 and keep the timestamps from the 
ismncc.5.21 directory?

Cheers!

    Rob
