The closest git comes to storing a timestamp is the date of the last commit of a file for mtime, and first commit for ctime. However, those are pretty expensive to look up for a given file. And git doesn't try to preserve timestamps in checkouts at all, which argues that git-annex, at least at the command line, should not either.

Thanks Joey for the comment.
But when syncing two repos, timestamps are critical at least for my use case. I can't lose this info. Even if it's expensive.
Appreciate if you can consider to add it for direct mode repos, ie when a file is synced to another repo and created there, it shall carry at least the mtime of the file in source repo. Owncloud sync does it, btsync does it, although I know git-annex is different than those.

Btw, git storing the last commit time as Mtime is not enough, it shall store the original timestamp of the file, not the date of commit. Hope I could explain and hope this is something doable.

You can try to store the timestamps just before commit and restore them on checkout.
Have a look at [metastore](https://github.com/przemoc/metastore): it is a ready-made solution for plain git. Maybe you can adapt it to git-annex.
