Perhaps if svn was a tool that only worked on a single OS then it would be trivial to store the file mode date. However, svn is cross platform... so to have a cross platform file system code is pretty generic.

Also, it is a open source app... so if this issue bothers you I am sure the dev's would love to discuss your approach to dealing with this that will work across all supported OSes and file systems.

I think some people have come up with a way to set the svn:date funtion so it will match the file modified date during a commit.
