Subversion can tolerate non-monotonic dates with one caveat: it breaks
the find-revision-by-date feature (e.g., "svn update -r '{2010-12-25}'")
for the time intervals with non-monotonic dates.  This is a seldom-used
feature and therefore its sacrifice is often accepted, for example when
the history of the Subversion project itself was migrated into the
Apache project's Subversion repository.
