Hi,
Quick Q, is it possible to keep the original file time from the git
server when checking out / cloning a local repo?
When I did
git clone git://git.remote...
All my local git files are set to the check out time.
Please help and CC me when replying.
Thanks

Only with third-party extra tools such as Metastore (or etckeeper that
uses it), or git-cache-meta (or IsiSetup), see
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Interfaces,_frontends,_and_tools
Git itself doesn't store original file time, and with its intended use
it would screw up mtime-based make rebuilding.
