improved atime patch

Assar assar at permabit.com
Tue Apr 20 21:14:25 GMT 2004


I posted a patch a few days ago that adds copying of atime.  At that
time, it was just enabled with -t/--times.  After some time, we have
figured out that that choice might not have been the best.  Here's a
new version of the patch (relative to CVS) that adds -A/--copy-atime
instead.  It also includes a test case.

Any feedback on this patch and/or the previous one that I posted?
