I think the problem can also be visible with a script that does a commit on a file with a keyword and modifies the file just after, at least on fast machines. Indeed, since there is a keyword, the file will be modified by svn just after the commit, and the script may modify the file in the same second. However, looking at ctime won't solve the problem (depending on the OS and the FS, there *can* be other fields that give more precise timestamps, I don't know if APR can provide them when they exist, but it should).
Something like that: $ echo '$Rev$' > file $ svn add file $ svn ps svn:keywords Rev file $ svn ci -m 'first commit' file; echo foo >> file But I can't produce the problem on my machine, perhaps because svn is too slow or because it introduces a 1-second delay to avoid the above problem. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA
