And since nobody has mentioned it in this thread, I'll mention it
now: you can configure Subversion to do the same thing (on checkout
or update, set the files' dates not to the current time but to the
commit time). Simply uncomment the line "use-commit-times = yes" in
the file ~/.subversion/config.
