[Rest2web-develop] timestamps, svn and modtime

[Andrew S. <str...@as...>]

I'm in the process of updating my websites to use rest2web, but I'm
hitting one problem -- I keep my files under subversion, which seems
unable to maintain a file's "mtime" (
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1256 ). Thus, when I
check out the source for my site  with svn, the modtimes are all screwed
up. Does anyone have any solutions? Of course, I could simply remove the
<% modtime %> from my template, but there must be a better way.

The simplest idea I have at the moment is Python code in my template
that calls svn and asks for the svn commit time. This could fail
gracefully to the file systems mtime if the file was not under svn.

Thoughts?
Andrew

I like this idea and I can't think of a better solution off the top of 
my head.
