source safe offers the following options in the client:
1. compare files by
   - checksum (default)
   - modification date/time
   - contents
     (to slow for every days use and does not gain much)
2. set modification date/time on local files to:
   - current (default)
   - last modified of repository
   - check in of repository (i.e. maybe no change)
