Changing timestamps...

[Bruce Chiarelli <ma...@gmail.com>]

I use Subversion to keep track of talks, sermons, and essays I've written
and revise from time to time. As I've found some documents from a long time
ago (>2 years), I was wondering: what adverse effects should be expected of
using propset to change the timestamp of a document to a date before the
creation of the repository itself? Methinks it might be a bad idea.

Cheerio,

I believe it's fine to do that. The only adverse effect should be  
that searching for a revision by time/date wouldn't work because the  
revision / date is out of sequence. But if you don't use that  
feature, then there's no problem.
