I am trying retrieve *only* the artifacts that have been modified/added in Subversion repository from revision x to revision z. For that, after obtaining a list of such files/folders through svn diff --summarize, I run svn export in my script to retrieve the individual files/folders.
However, svn export doesn't seem to preserve the commit-time timestamp of directories (it does for files though). As a matter of fact, when the folder structure is exported, the timestamp of folders are the current system datetime (while the actual files contain the timestamp when they were last committed to the repository). I even tried to run svn export with the following command option, but the results are still the same: svn export http://svn/repo/url/path/to/folder C:\temp\test\path\to\folder --depth empty --config-option=config:miscellany:use-commit-times=yes Apparently, use-commit-times is already set for svn export to yes (and http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.confarea.html is merely for other svn commands, i.e. checkout, update, switch, etc.). Is there a way to export (or retrieve) a delta of the files/folder between two revisions while preserving the commit-time timestamps for folders?
