From: Paul Mackerras Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2005 13:00:14 GMT Subject: naive question Message-ID: <16997.222.917219.386956@cargo.ozlabs.ibm.com> Is there a way to check out a tree without changing the mtime of any files that you have already checked out and which are the same as the version you are checking out? It seems that checkout-cache -a doesn't overwrite any existing files, and checkout-cache -f -a overwrites all files and gives them the current mtime. This is a pain if you are using make and your tree is large (like, for instance, the linux kernel :), because it means that after a checkout-cache -f -a you get to recompile everything. Paul.
