# Helper script to update the Last modified timestamp of files in a Git SCM
# Projects working Copy
#
# When you clone a Git repository, it sets the timestamp of all the files to the
# time when you cloned the repository.
#
# This becomes a problem when you want the cloned repository, which is part of a
# Web application have a proper cacheing mechanism so that it can re-cache files
# (into a webtree) that have been modified since the last cache.
