use-commit-times = yes

[Claudius Sailer <Cl...@LBBW.de>]

Hi,

we have our Client configured with the setup

use-commit-times = yes

is it possible with a svn or svn-admin command to modify this commit-times
in the repository?


bye

The commit time is a property on the revision, svn:date. It is
possible for a user to edit this without leaving a trail. That's why
you cannot edit a revision property without a pre-revprop-change hook.
It is up to the administrator of the repository to create and maintain
this hook and to ensure that the standard user isn't modifying the
commit dates, the commit user, or the commit comments without
authorization.

use-commit-times is only used by the client to set the timestamp of
checked-out/updated files.

To modify the commit time in the repository, you essentially have to
modify the history of your repository, changing the timestamp on
selected revisions (you aren't changing the times on the *files*, but
changing the record of when the *revision* was committed). At best,
this will be confusing when reading logs; at worst, it'll really mess
up your history, especially if you have other commits where you aren't
messing around with timestamps.
