The problem with setting the option in the user's config is that this option is not desirable for updates, only for checkouts. If set in config, it applies to both.
Our problem is that certain parts of our code depend on the timestamps being correct to avoid triggering, for example, automake processing when we have already committed the Makefile output of automake. Therefore, we need to have a definitive set of timestamps, which can be accomplished by using commit times when checking out. For updates, however, it is always desirable to timestamp the updated files with 'now' rather than with the commit time of the file, so that the updates will always cause a rebuild where necessary. In our developer environment, we created a wrapper script which provides the commit-times option. We encourage developers not to set the option to yes in their config files. Thanks.
