The idea of configuring wether a retrieve should keep the server timestamp or use the current time is great I think.
However, I would not put this parameter in the ivy file. For the same ivy files, some would like one option, other would preffer the other one. I think it should better be a parameter of the retrieve task, or maybe an attribute of the resolver in the settings file. preservelastmodified sounds a good name (like the ant copy task). Note that if you put it in the resolver settings, that should maybe also impact the publish and the install task. If you put it in both the settings and the task, then the task should have the priority.
