[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
