What it can do is to set the timestamp to the commit date at the time the file is checked-out. > Robin> What tools do you use that need the benefits from retaining > Robin> timestamps?

And it continues working after you start modifying the file, so it's much less fragile than the filesystem timestamp. But if you insist in reproducing SVN's "use-commit-times = yes" setting, it should be doable with a post-checkout hook. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
