File dates not making much sense to me

I notice that when I checkout files from a repository onto a new
location, the files appear timestamped with the time I checked them
out, not the time they were originally created or checked into the
repository.

Is this the intended behavior?

I find this situation very troubling. My project includes a large HTTPD
directory which is posted to a web server using an Ant FTP task. If
each user ends up with arbitrary file dates, then the Ant task isn't
going to work right, since it is designed to send only those files that
are newer than what's already on the web site.

Is there any way to keep the local file dates consistent across users?
