You mean, it's impossible, to keep the original timestamps??

Ok, thanks.

In my case, all development happens on Git, SVN is only some sort of
copy. And when the original timestamps are lost, I've sometimes some
real problems in finding a specific commit that matches another event.

That's why I suggest an option, for use cases as mine. Those, who prefer
to keep the current behaviour just won't use it.

If someone could guide me through the code, I could modify it perhaps.
