Oh, that. Subversion does not consider a file as changed unless it sees a
change in the mod-time. :-( This bug should have been fixed long ago.

At least, PLEASE make it an installation option or compile-time option.

How it should be is described here:

Note the date: 2005-05-27 12:43:11 GMT - more than one year ago.

It's simply unbearable that correct-behavior-in-all-cases is sacrificed for
speed.
