Re: [TSVN] BUG: Files are labeled modfied if the date changes rather than if the file changes...

There are several things to consider here:

1. There's lots of caching, etc of overlay icons, which is not 100%
reliable, and can sometimes show something confusing.

2. Whether a file is marked as modified or not comes from the SVN libraries
- TSVN is just a snazzy way of displaying this, and doesn't determine the
state of the file itself.

3. It is not true, in general, that SVN marks files as modified if only the
date has changed. (I have just double-checked this myself here, both by
touching the file, and by doing the edit-save-undo-save cycle which you
describe.)

Could you please take a copy of the file (away from the working copy)
before and after the 'non-modification' process, and double-check that
they're byte-for-byte identical - I suspect you'll find that there's been
some subtle change.

Cheers,

Will
