Sorry to respond to my own message, had to clear my first issue up
The entire tree does NOT indeed show as modified, but subversion seems
to attempt to diff every file in the tree to tell if it's just a
timestamp change, or the file is actually modified.
It was only apparent to me when my other issue with the $Id:$ diffing
cropped up.
I'd check out a tree using 'use-commit-times' and the files which
contained '$Id:$' in them showed up as modified even though I didn't
actually change it. So it was apparent that subversion noticed the
time stamp difference between last update and actual file time stamp.
In a regular tree (converted from cvs), this issue doesn't appear, even
if I 'touch' a file then do status again. I assume though that svn is
performing a text diff on the files with the suspect timestamp to see
if I indeed changed them.
So, using 'use-commit-times' on a tree with say, 200 files, results in
a 'svn status' command taking several seconds while it performs the
diff.
I'm just suggesting that svn stores (somewhere in .svn I'd assume), the
repo timestamp of each file so it doesn't spend it's time performing a
diff of the entire tree. (my main tree, which has not been converted
yet due to cvs2svn errors, is 20k+ files, that would seriously hurt to
diff)
