Sorry, there is no way to preserve that information in standard
Subversion.

There has been work done on this front in the past, though it was
never incorporated into Subversion. This is the open ticket:

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1256

You may be in luck: the patch there was just updated a week ago, so
it's fresh and might work for you, if you wanted to build a custom
version of Subversion.
