Hi,

This seems a pretty basic question but I can't seem to find an answer or 
explanation online...

I am a fairly new Fossil user and I am surprised that when I open a repositiory 
(on Windows 7) all the extracted files seem to have their timestamp set to the 
date and time at which they were extracted (that is, the date and time at which 
I opened the repository).

I would prefer that Fossil preserved the date and time stamp that the file had 
when it was most recently committed.

In fact, it seems to me this resetting of the timestamps is a bad idea, unless 
someone can explain to me why this is a good idea ?

More importantly, unless it really is a good idea that it doesn't, is there a 
way I can get Fossil to preserve the date and time stamps on the files it 
extracts from a repository ?

I would appreciate any thoughts, clarification or guidance on this.

 

Thanking you for your assistance,

 

 

Martin Irvine.
