AFAIK this is not possible so far.
However, the file's timestamp is not changed by SVN on commit. It
is just that on a checkout/update of other or new working copies
files then either get the timestamp of last commit or current time.
Dunno your setup or specific needs, but as far as I can see this
behaviour just makes it difficult to impossible to synchronize
working copies outside of SVN. But that's something you should
never do anyway or you will get a lot of trouble on the next
update/commit within SVN.
What I would really like to have, however, is SVN updating its
internal adminstrative files in case just the timestamp of a file has
changed, e.g. because of a synchronization of the website over
FTP as not all web hosters allow rsync. As far as I can see such
update would not make a commit necessary as it would be
completely internal for the respective working copy. But it would
save a lot of time SVN currently needs to compare the file contents
again and again while just the timestamp was changed from
modification time to last upload time.
