Subversion never looks at the textbase timestamp. It looks at the
timestamp recorded in the entries file, and compares it to the
timestamp on the working file.

Now you've managed to confuse me as well.

Are you saying that you've managed to create this scenario?

   1. a working file and its text-base file have different contents
   2. the working file has the exact same timestamp as is recorded in
      the entries file.

If so, how did this scenario happen?
