I don't recall when timeMicros was added (but the fact that I needed to
parse the svn:date property for compat probably means it wasn't in 1.5).
  As for your suggestions, I'm opposed to a) on the grounds that we
shouldn't be treating svn:date as special in this callback. We could do
something like b) relatively easy (though I'd prefer to do it as an
additional property, not as svn:date). c) would be easiest, and ideal
if it still provides consumers what they need.
