mtimes at import
'svn import' ignores mtimes of files, and sets 'Last Changed Date' of
all imported files to current time.
In one specific import, I'd like to have ''Last Changed Date' to be set to
file's mtime.
Is there import option to do it, or any way to modify backward the
''Last Changed Date' in the repo, after import.

Sorry, there is no way to preserve that information in standard
Subversion.
There has been work done on this front in the past, though it was
never incorporated into Subversion. This is the open ticket:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1256
You may be in luck: the patch there was just updated a week ago, so
it's fresh and might work for you, if you wanted to build a custom
version of Subversion.

If you only want a single project/file updated, then set a blank
pre-commit hook, and manually update the filetime revision property.
I doubt there's a better way to do it besides logging it as a bug - I
should imagine the 'use commit time' setting should apply across all
commands equally.

Look into the archives of this or dev list for the thread entitled
"Subversion Problem - How to save file modify time",
this one:

I am talking about 'svn import' operation, Bob.
Populating the empty repo right after 'svnadmin create'.

So, then why don't you just check out the top level folder. Delete the
files then do a fully recursive update?

No, it doesn't. "use-commit-times" doesn't affect 'svn import'. It affects
checkout, update, switch, and revert; but not import.

Does use-commit-times in the client configuration not work for you?

did you consider to import each file as a separate revision and set
the commit time to the mtime of the file?
I posted a crude Perl script doing this, it should be in the archives
(svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-10/1345.shtml). But it's intended only
for the initial import. During normal work I'm using the commit time.

Ah, if it's not per-file, it doesn't help me.
I'll try user-defined property.

How ? Do you mean here, by rolling the client's time backward, and
forcing the checkin ?
I want to modify that very "Last Changed Date" field.
Storing it as user-defined property is not too attractive.

you can change it after the fact, but svn records the commit time per
revision (not per file).
The only way to have individual "Last Changed Date" for files is to
import them one by one (or grouped by mtimes).
If your are only interested in the information and don't need the
files mtime set on checkout, you could use a user defined file
property.
