I think I've read that after a revert or after undoing changes
the comparison is always necessary for this file.
Is this correct?

If yes, this means somehow a "degeneration" of the wc
(I do a fresh checkout because of this from time to time,
because the wc is quite large, and svn status takes a long time).

Is it possible that after one comparison the new timestamp
is stored in the admin directory,
so that after such an undo only for the first status
a comparison is necessary?

Cheers,
