Unfortunately, last I checked (a long time ago!), explicitly
setting revprops might require SVN administrators to enable the
feature for the repo.

It's been a while and I'm not up-to-date with the latest SVN.
Maybe there's a newer/easier way you could give us details about :)

For now, I suggest including the date in the message body itself
to record when it was written (perhaps using git-interpret-trailers
to enforce, although I'm not familiar with that, either).
