You can recreate them. Nobody cares too much about the hour or minute with a day as there (always ? generally ?) was only one post per day.

You could even take the old timestamps of the svn and/or git commits and then touch the ctime (or maybe it was mtime, I forget but 'touch --time=.... file' works). "Been there done that" for part of my 20+ year old blog infrastructure too.
