Well, here is part 1.
This just saves the mtime of the files in a new property, so this patch is
trivial.
As for part 2 - restoring the time stamps:

With this in mind I'd propose that
- export uses the archived time stamps, ie. the mtime of the files.
- update uses the current time
- both get switches to override this default behaviour.
In my first try for part 2 there won't be another property for specifying the
default (use saved time or current), although in my patch I've already
reserved a property name.
Could I please get some other opinions to a new question which arrived in my
head: should binary files be treated the same as text-files?
The reason I ask this is because binary files tend (at least in my usual usage
patterns) to be the end-product of some process, and they are seldom used as
dependencies for other programs. This is to say, the .o-files are mostly not
archived in a versioning system, the output files are endpoints and do not
present dependencies of other files, etc.
Of course I think about the use of eg pictures, which are linked into a binary
... but is this a very common case?
I do not argue that this cases should be forbidden. I think about whether the
default behaviour for mtime restoring should be on for binary and off for
text files, with the command line switches able to override that, and
possibly (but as mentioned not in the first patch) to still have a
per-file-property as last resort.
