How to Maintain "timestamp" in Repository & Working copy ?
I have a request to keep the "commit" timestamps associated with the
file in the working copy the same.
Is that possible ? most users have their working copy on a Windows OS ,
Subversion Server is on a Unix Server ( not that that matters ).
Is there a parameter in TortoiseSVN perhaps ?

You can also set it system-wide (i.e. applying to all users on that
particular client machine), both on Windows and on *nix. On Windows,
either through the registry in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Config\Miscellany,
or in the %APPDATA% of the default user (I think).
But it's still a client-side setting, you have to configure it on each client.

Normally, one does not have TortoiseSVN on a production server in the
first place. Better to use tools which can be automated cleanly
(command-line, etc.) for hands-off deployments.

Note that because the setting is in HCU, it will need to be set for
*each user* who might be doing things on this server. This holds true
for setting it in %APPDATA%\Subversion\config as well.
Settings in the registry will override %APPDATA%\Subversion
configuration settings (that's my experience, anyway); specifying it
at the command line (see my other reply) should trump both.

So what I found looks like I'll need to mess with the client side
register parameters? , not nice on a production server.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tigris.org\Subversion\Config\miscellany]
"#global-ignores"="*.o *.lo *.la #*# .*.rej *.rej .*~ *~ .#* .DS_Store"
"#log-encoding"=""
"#use-commit-times"="" < ------------------- Set this to yes and drop
the comment I suppose will do the trick
"#no-unlock"=""
"#enable-auto-props"=""
use-commit-times
Normally your working copy files have timestamps that reflect the last
time they were touched by any process, whether your
own editor or some svn subcommand. This is generally convenient for
people developing software, because build systems often
look at timestamps as a way of deciding which files need to be recompiled.
In other situations, however, it's sometimes nice for the working copy
files to have timestamps that reflect the last time they
were changed in the repository. The svn export command always places
these “last-commit timestamps” on trees that it produces.
By setting this config variable to yes, the svn checkout, svn update,
svn switch, and svn revert commands will also
set last-commit timestamps on files that they touch.

In %APPDATA%\Subversion\config for the user the script is running as, set:
use-commit-times = yes
If you set it here, Tortoise should also pick it up for that same user.
>From the command line you can also use the following option:
--config-option config:miscellany:use-commit-times=yes
This is documented in the output of svn help co.

-------------------8<---------------------
Edit the subversion local configuration in either
$HOME/.subversion/config or %APPDATA%\Subversion\config and uncomment
the entry for use-commit-times:
### Set use-commit-times to make checkout/update/switch/revert
### put last-committed timestamps on every file touched.
# use-commit-times = yes

In the TortoiseSVN settings menu, "General" section, there is a setting
'Set file dates to the "last commit time"' -- is that perhaps what you
want?
