Subversion does not allow to interfere with the 'svn status' command
(which is what you get with the check-for-modifications dialog). That's
because that command is used to show the user info about the working
copy. Modifications are shown for a reason: those will get committed, no
matter if you think those are not 'real' modifications or not.
