I seem to remember being able to get Tortoise SVN to set the last-modified timestamp for files to the timestamp from the revision when performing an update. So if someone committed a file 5 days ago and I update it, the modified timestamp will be 5 days ago, not today.

Except for the life of me I can't remember/find where the option is.

Any suggestions, or am I just completely wrong about this?

Thanks!

When I go to the Settings option in the TortoiseSVN menu, I see an option to "Set file dates to the last commit time." Is this what you're looking for?

Not sure if Tortoise uses the svn client as a backend, but if it does, there is an option in the svn config file:

use-commit-times = yes

Sorry if this doesn't apply on your platform, but I'll mention it anyway. It works for those using the svn commandline client.

At least there's a button for launching and editor for the svn config file in Tortoise's preferences UI.
