Definitely after Apr 22 12:45 (UTC+1000) (I have some flat files in the symlinked-to dir with that date - I assume the mtime gets tweaked by CVSUP?). Definitely before Apr 28 11:22 (UTC+1000) as most the dirs in the new non-symlinked tree have that (28/5) date. Judging by the timestamps, I'd say the cvsup on 28th was the culprit because the timestamps on the dirs are 5-10 minutes apart, indicating a whole buncha processing for each dir. > 3.
