Generally the time on the files isn't considered significant to preserve
with version control tools, not least because it is not generally
carried across other checkouts or whatever.
Why do you want to do that? There might be a better way to solve
whatever problem you have...
I want versioning for a website, and the ability to roll back to previous
versions and preserve deleted or changed pages.
Subversion looks like it will do exactly what I want. The original time stamp is
not a game breaker, but it would have been nice. Occasionally I check to see
when something was changed using ctime. It looks like I will only get ctime for
post-subversion changes.
