Apache does this for us already: Subversion calls ap_set_last_modified()
and Apache calls ap_rationalize_mtime(). Testing with svn:date set in
the future:

$ svn pg --revprop -r2 svn:date wc
2017-01-04T12:52:02.154787Z

I see a Last-Modified varying with the current time:

Last-Modified: Mon, 04 Jan 2016 12:57:06 GMT\r

Last-Modified: Mon, 04 Jan 2016 12:57:53 GMT\r
