Checked out files don't preserve file date
Was it a design intent that when checking out files, the files get
changed to today's file date rather than the date that was on them
when they were checked in?
This creates large problems (basically, renders impossible for all
practical purposes) some other accounting things we are doing with these files.
Is there any way around it?

if you can live with the commit date, then you can set-up the client
in that way.

And since nobody has mentioned it in this thread, I'll mention it
now: you can configure Subversion to do the same thing (on checkout
or update, set the files' dates not to the current time but to the
commit time). Simply uncomment the line "use-commit-times = yes" in
the file ~/.subversion/config.

CVS sets the timestamp to match the commit time, not the timestamp of
the committed file. But if you check the same thing out twice, the
timestamps will match.

Good morning, Steve.
Do you know if CVS did it that way?

Yes, this was intentional. Subversion doesn't store the local modification
time upon checkin. This has come up on the list recently, and no there
isn't any way around it.
In my opinion, this one should be high on the list of features to be
considered for 2.0
