Comment(by raimue@…):

 Replying to [comment:6 ryandesign@…]:
 > One solution would therefore be to not preserve mtimes when we sync, by
 removing `-t` from the rsync_options, and for Subversion, by enforcing a
 config file that doesn't specify `use-commit-times`. However, I think
 preserving mtimes is nice for other reasons, so I'd like to find a fix
 that doesn't require us to destroy this piece of metadata.

 What other reasons do you refer to? We would still have the $Id$ line
 indicating the time of commit at the top.
