There's even a branch with a full implementation in the subversion
repository, and it's been ported to relatively current versions - maybe
that's what you mean by "patches" here.

This isn't implemented in the branch, AFAIR.

Very fine. And if you change that to "svn:text-time", this is already
specified in svn_props.h:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/subversion/include/svn_props.h

So there's no way to have some part of the WC with mtime-storage, and another
without? I'm thinking about generated binaries that you want to keep.
Maybe the property should just be set (on commit) if it already exists.
(That's what the branch does.)
Thank you for working on that!
Regards,
Phil
