As far as I can see CVS records check in times. However you can use cvs import -d to 
preserve the files' modification times.
But please be aware that this didn't work in *client/server mode* when I used it last 
time (CVS 1.10 on the server side, WinCVS 1.1b7 (which seems to use CVS 1.10.6) on the 
client side). In *local mode* it worked fine.

So if this is still a problem in current implementations, you might use the following 
workaround:
1. import your project in local mode to a local repository using import -d
2. when finished with the whole import move the entire repository tree to the romote 
host where you want the repository to reside.

This procedure is a bit annoying, but it worked fine for us.

Regards
Martin
