RE: Re: Subversion erase original date of files ??

In any event, as I have stated elsewhere, I still believe Subversion
should maintain the original modification date of the files. Why lose
important meta information about the files until/unless they are
actually changed?
Also, many other source control systems maintain this information (I
believe CVS does too; but, I may be mistaken) - so why can't Subversion
too?

Thanks,
Chuck

Can you use subversion itself to do your replication? I'm not sure if
this fits in with your model, but the client machines that you are
distributing to could have their own working copies of your data, and
read-only access to the repository. With this, you could periodically
run 'svn update' on those working copies to keep them up to date,
without re-transmitting the entire repository.
