Please don't send MIME and/or HTML encrypted messages to the list.

It doesn't.  Checkout uses the checkin timestamp, but update uses the
actual update time.  That causes tools like make to do the right thing
in almost all cases.  You should either use update rather than deleting
your working directory and doing a fresh checkout or do a "make clean".
