problems with timestamps at re- checkout

[Rex, Sören]

We had the following scenario:

 

1. user1: cvs co foo 

2. user2: cvs ci foo                        -> commit new versions of foo/bla

3. user1: cd foo; make                   -> creates targets outside foo

4. user1: cd ..; cvs release -d foo    -> target outside foo not deleted

5. user1: cvs co foo                       -> get foo with new version of foo/bla

6. user1: cd foo; make                   -> doesn't recreate target,

 

because cvs co/up creates new files in working directory with the timestamp from last checkin.

Why "cvs co/up" creates new files with the timestamp of their checkin ?

An option to cvs co/up to force the current timestamp at new files would be very helpful.

Or is there another way to get the target recreated ?
