SVN commit with old date/time

Question

Is there some way how to commit into the SVN repository with old time / date or how to edit the time / date post commit?

I have some archived sources which are very

Answer 1

What I did eventually was:

• install VisualSVN server on my workstation
• create a new "local" SVN repository
• take archives one by one, for each:
  • in the working copy delete everything but .svn file, to make sure files which were deleted are not left over
  • decompress the archive into the working copy
  • change system date to the date of the archive
  • add and delete as necessary and commit into the local repository
• once done, use svnadmin dump the repository
• on the main SVN server load the dump using svnadmin load

The steps above seem easier to me than installing the pre-revprop-change hook. (The one we currently have in place allows editing log message only.)

Note: instead of changing system date it would be also possible to edit the date in the dump file before loading it.
