I'm having a hard time parsing that sentence, but I think that's what it
already does -- when you do a fresh checkout, the files have the
timestamps of when they were checked in.  That's not true for update,
however, since it would break things like make.

If you mean you want checkout to record the current timestamp of the
file rather than the time of the checkin, that would also break things
like make.  Import, however, has the -d option to do just that.
