How can I track file and folder modification times with SVN?

Question

Please notice, that this has nothing to with setting use-commit-times . I am using SVN to keep track of school work (Word Documents, PDFs, images, etc.). What is necessary to do this? I have things that say to the effect that SVN's arbitrary properties can be used to store this information. How do I do this?

Additional information: I am not talking about the last commit time.

Answer 1

Subversion itself does not store this metadata. You could hack around it some by creating custom properties to record those timestamps, but you would then need to run a script to update them before performing any commit.

The repository only cares about when an item was changed in the repository .
