Re: MTime resurrected

[Rick Yorgason <ri...@longbowgames.com>]

So I finally got around to updating the MTime Preservation page:

http://wiki.apache.org/subversion/MtimePreservation

I ended up integrating all of your suggestions, and I think I answered 
all the questions.

The biggest changes are:
* Removed the 'svn:use-text-times' property.  The presence of the 
'svn:text-time' property is now used to determine if mtime should be 
preserved.  Assigning this property to new files falls to auto-props.
* The addition of the mtime-usage client-side setting. This obsoletes 
the use-commit-times setting and specifies the exact behaviour requested.
* Added a 'Rules' section to give an overview of the expected behaviour 
for all operations.
* Relying on the auto-props feature has revealed some of the 
deficiencies in that system, so I added an 'Auto-props deficiencies' 
section.  svn:text-time would still be useful without addressing these 
problems, but it would obviously be more useful if they were addressed.

Cheers,
