I've read through the mans but either missed it or it is not there.
Is it possible to mount a fossil so that atime's are not updated?
I understand it would break certain things, but would be useful
with CF, a hot topic during last hours.

flashfs does not update atimes ('cause it's silly) and
mtimes are implicit in the modifying op. no reason why
fossil couldn't be coerced to do this.

there's no such option. it's easy to add.
(the code already avoids updating the atime
on read-only file systems.)
i'm not sure the win would be as big as it
is in kfs, though, since metadata updates
are already cached.
