Re: Keeping last-modified dates

Ryan,

Thanks for your suggestions.

Speaking generally, I feel that any system that stores or transmits or
otherwise deals with files should honour the contract of last-modified
times. I.e. the time on a file should be the last time its contents
were changed. The fact that I can import files into SVN and then
export them and lose that information seems wrong and unnecessary.
To be honest it's created a bad first impression, and I will have to
check with colleagues that this is lack is OK and that we all still
want to go ahead with Subversion. In all other aspects Subversion
seems excellent, and lives up to its glowing reputation.

Thanks.

Andrew
