No. Subversion uses revision numbers, not time stamps, to tell
whether the repository has changed.

When you do a commit, a new revision is generated. When you do an
update, the client checks if the highest revision on the server is
higher than the revisions it has in the working directory. If yes, it
brings them over.

The time shouldn't matter at all.
