svn_fs_contents_changed() was not designed to be used to detect when two files have different content, but really to detect when the contents of a given file have changed across two points in its history. For the purposes of preserving accurate history, certain bits of code (such as the repos dump code) needs to care about this distinction. For example, it's not an error from the FS API point of view to call svn_fs_apply_textdelta() and explicitly set a file's contents to exactly what they were before you made the edit. But we try to preserve that fact when dumping rather than claim that the file didn't change at all (despite there being a change of modified parent directories and an associated `changes' table entry which claim otherwise.) -- C.
