unison 2.40.65 with -times does not preserve directory modification time

Hi,

With -times, file modification time is preserved but not directory modification time. Is this expected?
Is there a way to work-around this?

I am using unison 2.40.65 on ubuntu lucid 10.04. Same version/OS for the remote server.

Thanks,
Long

This is expected behavior and would require some work (including serious design work) to change, unfortunately.

Re: unison 2.40.65 with -times does not preserve directory modification time

Ah, this is unfortunate !

I was hoping to ditch rsync for unison because unison handles rename very nicely.

Then my work-around is to run rsync after unison to fix those directory modification time.

Thanks Benjamin for the very fast response.
