This is due to the fact that by default, recode doesn't modify the
mtime (this is a feature). I reported the problem last year, in the
dev mailing-list:

http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=dev&msgNo=117800

It is annoying that Subversion developers don't regard it as a bug,
even though there would be a simple fix: look at ctime too (under
Unix).
