Just noticed this morning when I restarted the win32 build due to the bustage that it wasn't pulling by timestamp. Would be good to have it pull by timestamp so that we don't get horked by someone checking in during the pull. I need to check that the unix and mac scripts are doing timestamp as well.

You shouldn't do that, because it makes pulling fixes later in the verification process a royal pain in the ass. When you check out by date/time stamp, it checks it out as a sticky tag. That means that successive updates by using "cvs update" don't do anything because you are frozen on that date/time. In order to get fixes from the trunk into the tree, you have to issue a seperate cvs update command, which is "cvs update -A <file>" which clears the sticky tag and then updates the file. You'd have to do this on each and every file that was checked in after the date and time stamp. If you have a lot of fixes going into the tree, then you have to issue all of these at the same time. Additionally, we should be at the tip at all times. That's what we are verifying for not only QA, but for engineers as well. This is why we beat people's heads in when they check into a close tree.

forgot to clear this.
