Yeah, that's sometimes annoying to me, too.

Any idea if which versions of SVN it's supported in and how
recent the feature is?
Perhaps we can enable it everywhere, and maybe only old clients
won't understand it, but won't fail; and we could start using
it as the author date with "git svn fetch".
OTOH, that would break the (perhaps unofficial)
independently-created-git-svn-mirrors-should-have-same-oids-by-default
rule when people run different versions of git, so maybe it
could be an option...
