This is an issue with most SCM-Systems, The mtime of the files are NOT kept in sync by subversion and differ between the 2 different working copies you use. What you can do is periodically rsync back the files from the webserver and/or directly between the different working copies, so that the mtimes are synchronized. Then only the mtimes of the files updated via subversion after the last sync are off. Cautin: Only do that when working has no pending changes and be extra careful not to overwrite/kill the .svn-directories! Or, when the the amount of data is relativly small just use "-c". Depending on amount of data that takes some extra time when the buffer-cache on either side is cold. Or, (most "risky") just ignore mtimes '--ignore-times'. Bis denn -- Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
