Hi Greg.
(Glad I'm not alone in this view of svn!)

Any url please?

Just checking.
I have a full directory, lots of files, each with its own date and time.
(Or did you mean as a separate file? Directory, filename, atime?
If so I can do that easily, I have some Python that will generate
an xml file of this info)

Oh you sneaky person!!!!
I can do it on my Linux box...
I guess its doable on Windows using cygwin...
Now I see where you're going.
Yes, I do keep a backup copy of the full directory, but an xml
file with the relevant data could be just as easy.
This is promising!

I've not used any hooks.
I guess the mess is that the mtime of the file is now n days prior
to the time of revision 1?
Starts to get a bit messy now :-)

Sorry to sound so ignorant Greg, is this post commit hook?
