Curiosity on copying working copies

Hola Subversionistas, :-)

Typically, if I don't have the specific branch or tag of a Subversion
working copy but do have another one, I'll do a "cp -r oldwc newwc" and
then "svn status", and then "svn switch NEWURL" to the new one to save
having to go through the (relatively) long checkout across the Internet.

Specifcally, for instance, I just updated my subversion-1.0.x branch
"cd subversion-1.0.x; svn update; cd .." and then "cp -r subversion-1.0.x
subversion-1.0.4".

Then, I do a "svn status" and ALWAYS (so far since I can remember) it
shows:

$ svn st
M subversion/bindings/com/SVN.rgs
M subversion/bindings/com/SVNCOM.def
M subversion/bindings/com/SVNStatus.rgs
M subversion/bindings/com/SVNCOMps.def
M subversion/bindings/com/SVNCOM.idl
M subversion/bindings/com/resource.h
M subversion/bindings/com/SVNCOMps.mk

I go and check the source of the copy and there are no modifications.

What is special about the subversion/bindings/com/* files and why does it
ALWAYS show them as modified but no other files?

Not a problem, just one "svn revert subversion/bindings/com/*" to fix it
but it is very curious to me.

   Thanks!
