In December 2014 I asked about using the -R or --remote-time option when downloading files from a SFTP server.

My problem was that even when using the -R option, the downloaded files were getting timestamped with the date/time of downloading, not the date/time of the remote files.

After that, this bug was listed on the Known Bugs page as number 88.

Since the recent rearrangement of the known bugs to group them into the thirteen categories, that bug seems to have disappeared.

Has the bug been forgotten and not made it into the new listing, or has it been fixed?
