For the Subversion issue tracker, instead of using Internet archive with the URLs of the old issue tracker, refer to the current issue tracker (+ wikif the second reference). |
→Limitations and problems: reference for fsvs: instead of using Internet Archive, use the current ___location on GitHub (the owner was pmarek on tigris and is now phmarek on GitHub, so this appears to be the official repository). |

Line 240:
Subversion does not store the modification times of files. As such, a file checked out of a Subversion repository will have the 'current' date (instead of the modification time in the repository), and a file checked into the repository will have the date of the check-in (instead of the modification time of the file being checked in). This might not always be what is wanted.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-1256 |title=[SVN-1256] Ability to preserve last modification time (mtime) of files under version control |access-date=2023-09-04 }}</ref>
To mitigate this, third-party tools exist that allow for preserving modification time and other filesystem meta-data.<ref>[http://sourceforge.net/projects/freezeattrib/files/ FreezeAttrib (saves/restores file attributes using properties)]</ref><ref>{{
However, giving checked out files a current date is important as well — this is how tools like [[make (software)|make(1)]] will take notice of a changed file for rebuilding it.
