[Zope3-dev] SVN peculiarity

[Tim Peters]

After reverting a checkin to try to track down a test failure, I did
"svn revert -R ." to get back to where I was.  The output was
peculiar, because it reverted a few files I was sure hadn't been
changed at all.  So I did "svn revert -R ." again, and the same set of
"extra" files showed up.  Fearing my local copy was hosed, I deleted
it entirely, and checked out Zope3 from scratch.  Same result!

C:\Code\Zope3>svn st
X      src\BTrees
X      src\transaction
X      src\ZEO
X      src\ZODB
X      src\persistent
X      src\ThreadedAsync

C:\Code\Zope3>svn revert -R .
Reverted 'src\zope\app\demo\widget\interfaces\boolwidget.py'
Reverted 'src\zope\app\demo\widget\boolwidget.py'
Reverted 'src\zope\app\apidoc\apidoc.py'

C:\Code\Zope3>svn revert -R .
Reverted 'src\zope\app\demo\widget\interfaces\boolwidget.py'
Reverted 'src\zope\app\demo\widget\boolwidget.py'
Reverted 'src\zope\app\apidoc\apidoc.py'

Etc:  "revert" always thinks those 3 files are in need of cleaning up.

I don't know that it's something to worry about, but I think it's
peculiar enough to mention.  Does it happen for others too?
