Something like that happened to me on Linux.  svn st showed a
number of Zope 3 source files as modified; svn diff showed that the only
difference was a comment line that said '$Id$'/'$Id: $'.  svn revert
claimed that those files were reverted, but nothing was actually changed
-- svn st continued to show those files as modified.
