NAnt Tasks - vaultgetfile() - how to set to Modified date?

It seems this task is only capable of setting the files to the current datetime of the extraction.

Is there a way to set them to the Modified or Checked-In date upon retrieval? I need this to know what has actually changed when generating incremental builds... If not, how about some source code guys? We have a number of licenses...

I believe I will have to put in a feature request for that capability.

As a workaround, you may wish to try creating a user for NAnt which had the time settings to use the default of modified or check-in configured in the GUI, and then use this user within NAnt. If this works for you, just let me know.

Yeh, I figured I would have to do the separate account so that i don't have to worry about the security of my password, so I can use that to test your solution, though this account will require update perms, thus still a security hole.

But, the/my account i'm using already has "Set file time: Modification" set in the gui, so this doesn't appear to transfer to NAnt.

This solution will also require an additional license. Are we supposed to buy extra licenses just to support automated builds?

On the set time issue:
A work-around for that is to use a call to command line client, because it is more full featured. You can look here for documentation on the command line client: http://download.sourcegear.com/misc/vau ... nt/clc.htm.

Licenses are per user per server, not per installation. It doesn't require that it be run by it's own separate user name.
