An svn export will correctly maintain the server's timestamp for the  
file (the checked in timestamp). I typically try to use svn exports  
for production, but that's not always convenient.

Apparently subversion can also maintain the timestamps during other  
commands via a 'use-commit-times' option in the config file.
