My first thought was, what does FTP synching have to do with
Subversion? Do you mean that this is where you are getting your
timestamps messed up, and that's why you need a "--ignore-timestamp"
option? In that case I agree, the option is needed for quick
workarounds. At the same time, it would not be a solution to the
problem. I'd suggest fixing your messed-up FTP sync.
It might help to know how to use Subversion appropriately to sync your
personal repository with another. Speaking from experience, you don't
need a separate server in your basement, honest. Any PC these days is
a PS (Personal Server), even the same one you do work on.

"corrected typo"... CORRECT TYPO?? So you're the culprit! Correcting
a typo is definately changing content. Honestly, how can you claim
that ANY type of search&replace operations could justify preserving
the mod timestamp!?
