Comment 2 for bug 1481053

I often do something along the lines of
   ls -ltr
to see which things in a directory have been modified (most) recently. Having the wrong times on a restored directory provides misleading info, in that it looks like files have been added to or deleted from that dir more recently than in reality.

And I feel (as a matter of principle) that a backup system should restore all the meta-information possible.

Cheers.
