I wish that the initial clone would set the modification time to the
commit time. It would make the intial checkout have a more accurate
representation of when a file was last changed instead of all files
being set to the clone date. Then, files that are being updated would
get their time set as they do now. I supposed I'll just use the handy
git-set-file-times script (mentioned in another reply) every time I do
a clone.
