Re: standarize mtime when git checkout

Can we use GIT's commit time as the mtime for all of files/folders when we do "git checkout"?

No.  That will screw up common practice of build based on file
timestamps (e.g. make).

You may be interested in "git archive $commit" which will set the file
timestamps that of the commit object.
