Thanks, that seems like a reasonable suggestion. However, files in .svn/text-base are unmodified. "svn diff" doesn't show modified files in the working directory because timestamps and file sizes match values in .svn/entries. The md5sum in .svn/entries doesn't match the working file, but apparently that isn't checked as long as timestamp and file size are consistent. For what it's worth, here are some time stamps: 2011-03-10 10:09:15.365555 .svn/text-base/file 2011-03-10 11:02:49.375390 repository (commit) 2011-03-10 11:02:51.211718 working file 2011-03-10 11:02:51.227692 .svn/entries I'm guessing the working file was touched ~2 seconds after the commit to update embedded keywords. -- Warren Jones Fluke Corporation Software Engineering Support Group
