Hello Jon,
concerning the modify time: it's fine for me when the time goes backwards
on a revert. With a revert, I want everything reverted.
But I understand your issue with the compiler.
For this, in TortoiseSVN there is an option (in the General section).
Maybe it would be good to have such an option in SVN, too.
Paul.

Betreff: svn revert causes file modification times to go backward
I noticed that after an SVN revert, the files I reverted didn't seem to be getting rebuilt. To my surprise, the modify time
following the revert went backwards rather than forwards. Even more confusing, the change time went forward as expected. Following a
"touch", everything is copacetic and make successfully rebuilds the file.
