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.
