Not all revprops are created equal. Subversion has required a valid, non-empty svn:date on every revision since before 1.0. I can sympathise with your frustration, but it would really not serve anyone's best interests if we changed that assumption 15 years down the road just because there's a bug in some implementation of the protocol. FWIW, in my experience GitHub have a good record of fixing such bugs once they're reported. -- Brane
