Isn't it possible to modify the time stamp of the files by the RCS
modification time stamp? (to _me_ it seems that the whole thing is
a bug in your script, which does not update the timestamps of the files)

I do not think this is a bug. For example I think svn will only check
the modification
time for you, not the size (maybe I am wrong). If you would like to call it
as a bug, then it is a fs bug, the time stamp is not enough fine
grained for you.

hgbook: 4.5.5  Other contents of the dirstate
http://hgbook.red-bean.com/hgbookch4.html#x8-880004.5.5

I have tried to find the same information for SVN and was not able to find it.
