I need to find a way to preserve timestamps of files added to a repository. I'm using TortoiseCVS on a Windows machine, connected to a Linux CVS server using the :ext: protocol.
When I use TortoiseCVS to "Add Contents", "Commit" and later "Checkout" elsewhere, the checked out files have dates that represent the time the files were added to the repository, not the original timestamp of the file. I need to preserve timestamps of files so that a checkout will show me the date of the original file prior to its addition to the repository. >From what I've read, I think I could use a "cvs import -d" command line to preserve the dates, but I don't know how to accomplish this with TortoiseCVS. I have root access to the CVS server, so I could do an import on the server itself. Unfortunately, the project contains Windows-based text files, so they have the wrong newline convention. If I simply FTP the project files to the CVS server and import from there, I think it would screw up the newlines. How do I preserve dates/time? Any advice would be appreciated.
