You might want to look into the Unison file synchronizer, which copies
changed files based on their contents, which is much more robust. (It also
keeps the timestamps aligned, if you want.)

Check through the archived mailing lists. IIRC, there's been significant
work on a Subversion option so that when Subversion updates a WC file, it
changes its modification time to be when that version of the file was
committed to the repository.
