Hi folks,
Subversion is already using apr_stat() to read the mtime of a file.
But now we'd like to be able to *write* timestamps as well.
(For example, a CVS checkout sets all working-copy timestamps to the
time they were last changed in the repository, and SVN should be able
to do that as well.)
AFAICT, there's no API to write timestamps. I assume it's just a hole
that we can plug?
* CVS can set timestamps on unix and win32, so it must be a portable
thing. Looking at source code, Greg Hudson says it looks like CVS
is just calling utime(), doing POSIX-ey things.
* Cliff points out that there's an apr_file_attrs_set() and
apr_file_perms_set() (which svn is using for other things) but
neither seems to handle time.
Has this conversation been had before?
