Hi,
I have been using SVN internally for a few months. Here is a recipe for
reproducing this error:
1. I already have a WC in WC1 with a file called browse.html with a modified
date of 11/8/2002.
2. Check out a fresh working copy in another directory: WC2. This gives
all the files a modified date of 11/12/2002.
3. Copy browse.html from WC1 to WC2. The modified date stays the same (11/8/2002).
4. svn st and svn st -u both return no changes to WC2.
System details:
WinXP
svn version .14.3
networked repository (not that it would make much difference, right?).
I haven't tried this on our UNIX boxes and I haven't upgraded to the latest
SVN either. Let me know if there are any questions.
