Hi all, is it possible to tell git to preserve the file modification time in a checked out copy? It is useful when managing web files, where mtime is tested by spiders for download decisions.
No. Doing so would seriously break build-systems. If you want you can have a post-checkout hook that sets the mtime on all the files though. You should be able to parse the time the commit being checked out was made from HEAD. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231
