[darcs-users] Maintaining same file times on Win98

After testing various VCS's to find out which ones were Win9x friendly (that
could work with a local repository) I'm now going to do more extensive
testing with darcs and CVS (TortoiseCVS).
I had a single 'main' darcs repository which is local but as I didn't want
to work on it directly, I created a new 'sandbox' copy repository using
'darcs get'.
The files' dates/times though were not the same as the originals but were
the date/time that the 'darcs get' command was run.
I'd previously used rsync over ssh to copy my 'main' repository to my
webhost account as a backup. Rsync's '-t' parameter preserved my files'
times and correctly handled the different UTC offsets on my PC and on my
webhost's server (12 hours difference).
Like rsync, can darcs preserve file times between repositories?
Cheers,
Kieran
