As far as I know, there is exactly one reason why our commits must be
time-ordered: So that get_revision_by_date can do a binary search on
revision numbers. If we added an extra date->revision index, this
ordering wouldn't be necessary any more and we wouldn't need
svn:original-date.

I'd rather introduce this index and lift the restriction on svn:date
than add another date property.
