The patch may change the caching behaviour for svn:date in the future: I see a change with my Firefox 43 browser. When the Last-Modified header is present my browser sends a repeat request with an If-Modified-Since header and since the date is changing it gets back a 200 with the content repeated. With the patch applied the browser no longer gets Last-Modified and no longer sends If-Modified-Since, and this means its gets back a 304 Not Modified. The overall effect is that omitting Last-Modified allows the browser to cache files when svn:date is in the future. -- Philip Martin WANdisco
