Description

Currently access and modification times are not preserved on files copied using DistCp. This patch adds an option to DistCp for timestamp preservation.

The patch ready, but I understand there is a Contributor form I need to sign before I can upload it. Can someone point me in the right direction for this form? Thanks!
