I hope I'm not spamming to much...
We have built an update function which uses time stamp and filesize for
comparing i new files are needed to be downloaded from our server. We want to
build the release from CVS and therefor we need the date for each file to be
the same as the previous release if it hasn't been modified. I know there are
products nowaday which do that, but when we started the project there was no
such functionality... We are using new products for this now, but for a period
we also need the old way to work.
Regards / Erik

Just curious, but why? The current behaviour of cvs is for a reason -
"make", for example, would get really confused if cvs did take timestamps
from the repository on update.
