Too much information in diff header?

I'm wondering if our diff headers (the ones from 'svnlook diff', that
is, the diff headers we see in commit emails) really need the date:

   --- .../libsvn_wc/copy.c Thu Jul 3 05:39:41 2008 (r31986)
   +++ .../libsvn_wc/copy.c Thu Jul 3 07:28:08 2008 (r31987)

If I hadn't shortened the path above, those date headers would push
off the right edge of an 80-column screen. In our real commit emails,
they virtually always do. It's not a big problem, but it makes things
a bit harder to read, and adds (IMHO) no useful information. After
all, the revision number is right there anyway.

What if we took the dates out? Would there be a compatibility concern?
Is anyone *really* using them? :-)
