Re: Preserve timestamps while creating tag with SVN copy

there are no individual timestamps on files in the repository, only
one timestamp on the revision as a whole.

If you are talking about the timestamp of the commit / tag though ...

That can easyly be changed to match the tag source using "svn propset
svn:date --revprop -r <tagrevision> <date> <repopath>".

Be aware that the "svn -r {date} ..." syntax will no longer work
properly if you do so (because it relies on the revision timestamps to
be ordered).

And you will need a pre-revprop-change hook to allows revprop changes.
