Hi, I'm using CVSNT 2.5.03 Build 2382 on Windows XP Professional SP2. The CVS server is a Solaris machine running "Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.20 (client/server)" When I execute a 'cvs update -d' or a 'cvs update -P', some (random) directories receive a modification timestamp of the update, even though no files within those directories have changed. The files themselves retain the modification time of when they were committed. This behaviour does not happen without the -P or -d option. This causes a problem because our build process looks at the modification timestamp of files and directories to detect whether to do a build. As a result, it is building every time we do a cvs update, even if no files or directories have actually changed. Is this a known issue, or by design? I tried the cvs update -t option but the cvs server does not support it. Thanks, Manish
