Yes, the server sets the svn:date property on the revision, in UTC,
based on the server's own clock.

The client converts UTC to localtime when printing the logs.

If the server changes timezone, nothing happens. It continues to
store revision dates in UTC.

But clock skew is still a problem. See issue 752.
