Question : Using CVS compare in Eclipse, how can I avoid ignoring timestamp diffs?
Hi experts! This question is about configuring the CVS plugin of Eclipse (Galileo CDT version).
The action "compare with latest from HEAD" ignores timestamp differences. But I want timestamp diffs to show up as differences. Of course two files can be identical but have different modification times (e.g. "touch file" in linux).
Closely related, when doing for example "replace with latest from head", I want locally "touched" files to be "reset" to be completely identical with the original one from the repository, INCLUDING the time stamp.
In the Eclipse CVS log console I see somthing like the following after doing the "replace with latest from HEAD":
***
cvs update -C -l -d -P "/mypath/myfile.C"
U mypath/myfile.C
ok (took 0:00.040)
***
Perhaps the CVS options could be adjusted to do what I want, but how can that be done in Eclipse?
Thanks in advance!

CVS diff is content based comparison, not file based.
So it won't show the difference if two files' content are the same even though the time stamp are different.
