Nope, because of the bubble-up effect in the repository. For example,
the last-commit-time of '/' is always equal to the date of the last
commit.

Hmmmm, yeah, I guess one could commit a propchange to a directory, and
then it would have a timestamp newer than its contents. I wonder if
that would mess up any working copies.

Maybe I'll just stay away from this problem for now.
