Your observation is faulty.  The files' timestamps are only set to match
the actual modification time when checking out a directory for the very
first time.  Any subsequent updates to a directory set the updated
files' timestamps to the current time.  There's no provision to change
that since experience has shown that it's essentially always correct.
