File system dates (Date Modified) overwritten during staging

[kieranjol]

I'm using Windows 10 and I've noticed that Date Modifieds are reset to the date of file transfer when staging. IIRC, using things like shutil on Windows can be a bit funny with dates, which I why I often used robocopy/rsync/gcp depending on operating system. Though it looks like ye don't use shutil at all, as the write_files function in staging.py look like you're hashing and writing to file in chunks at the same time, which is pretty nifty.

Anyhow iId imagine that retaining dates would be preferred?

Best,
