Hello Jon, concerning the modify time: it's fine for me when the time goes backwards on a revert. With a revert, I want everything reverted. But I understand your issue with the compiler. For this, in TortoiseSVN there is an option (in the General section). Maybe it would be good to have such an option in SVN, too. Paul.

To my surprise, the modify time following the revert went backwards rather than forwards. Even more confusing, the change time went forward as expected. Following a "touch", everything is copacetic and make successfully rebuilds the file. $ stat foo.c File: `foo.c' Size: 107262 Blocks: 224 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 811h/2065d Inode: 3563541 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 2354/ jbauman) Gid: ( 1000/ jbauman) Access: 2010-11-03 15:21:56.000000000 -0700 Modify: 2010-11-03 15:21:38.000000000 -0700 Change: 2010-11-03 15:21:38.000000000 -0700 $ svn revert foo.c; stat foo.c; touch foo.c; stat foo.c Reverted 'foo.c' File: `foo.c' Size: 107255 Blocks: 224 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 811h/2065d Inode: 3563542 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 2354/ jbauman) Gid: ( 1000/ jbauman) Access: 2010-11-03 15:22:40.000000000 -0700 Modify: 2010-11-02 14:53:49.000000000 -0700 Change: 2010-11-03 15:22:40.000000000 -0700 File: `foo.c' Size: 107255 Blocks: 224 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 811h/2065d Inode: 3563542 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 2354/ jbauman) Gid: ( 1000/ jbauman) Access: 2010-11-03 15:22:41.000000000 -0700 Modify: 2010-11-03 15:22:41.000000000 -0700 Change: 2010-11-03 15:22:41.000000000 -0700 $ svn --version svn, version 1.5.5 (r34862) compiled Jan 8 2009, 05:34:48
