What happens when revision numbers are not chronological?

Hi Folks,

I've used an import script to import two bunches of files in the same
repository. This import script sets the commit time of each file
(svn:date property) to the original modified-time of the file. So, when
I added the second batch of files, the dates associated with the
revision numbers are no longer chronological. That is, rev 5 might have
an svn:date of 1/1/2011, and rev 6 might have an svn:date of 1/1/2010
for example.

I'm not planning on doing anything overly complex with svn - i probably
won't be branching or merging. However, I would like to be a little
more educated about the risks that I am running. Anyone know?

thanks!
