(Get the code!)
Vincent, could you explain why this is 'udd'?
I think it would be okay for TreeTransform to set the mtime of all of the files it creates to a fixed time. I would be a little bit concerned about overhead, but 1 sys-call to set the time for the file we just created doesn't seem too bad. What would be bad is if we can't set the time backwards.
Meaning, I would set the time for all files to the creation time of the *first* file. Then you can do it on-the-fly. If you have to do it for the time of the *last* file, then you have to go back and touch all the files you just created after-the-fact, which isn't nice.
