Not sure this helps, but you could use a shell script for checkout/update/commit and a metadata file with the timestamps (that is also stored in the repository). The shell script for commit reads the timestamps, writes them to the metadata file, then commits the client files plus the metadata file. The script for checkout/update updates first all the files, then reads the timestamps from the metadata file and applies them. Quite a kludge, though, and you can't use some of the normal cvs mechanisms on this module, due to the changed timestamps. (You may not have to.) Gerhard
