That ok for now.
But it won't meet my criteria. I need to have the *original* timestamps
versioned, as they are the most acknowledged attribute I have to
differenciate between versions (the external source's versions, not my
svn-internal)
It's fine with me if that's used now in svn - but if you want to have the
files' mtime instead of commit-times there'll have to be a new property (and
maybe property class), which has to be special cased in some functions, ...
So I believe that most of the code needed comes from this one change - use
mtime instead of commit-time.
Time will show ...
