I'm not familiar with SVN at all, but may rsync(1) be of any use
here? E. g.:
$ ls -gGl old-version/
total 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 2 Jan 8 21:34 did-change
-rw-r--r-- 1 2 Jan 8 21:34 did-not-change
$ LC_ALL=C ls -gGl new-version.from-svn/
total 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 3 Jan 8 21:36 did-change
-rw-r--r-- 1 2 Jan 8 21:36 did-not-change
$ rsync -rlt old-version/ new-version/
$ rsync -crl new-version.from-svn/ new-version/
$ ls -gGl new-version
итого 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 3 Jan 8 21:37 did-change
-rw-r--r-- 1 2 Jan 8 21:34 did-not-change
$
This way, m-time will be set either to the one of the earlier
version (if the file didn't change), or to the current time (if
it did.)
You'll need a previous version (`old-version' in the example
above) unpacked from a tarball, though.
