One log extracted from the access log is below. The piece of log include files and subdirectories which are indicated "modified" (M). The subdirectories are: /stable/7/sbin/geom, /stable/7/sbin/geom/class/label, /stable/7/sbin/geom/class/part /stable/7/sbin/geom/class/stripe /stable/7/sbin/geom/misc /stable/7/sys /stable/7/sys/cddl/contrib/opensolaris /stable/7/sys/contrib/dev/acpica /stable/7/sys/contrib/pf My question is: why are the subdirectories recorded as "modified", even though there is no files modified under most of the subdirectories? I did a test of modifying a file and submitting a commit to the subversion in my local machine. No subdirectories are recorded as "modified" except for the file. I can not find the answer through googling. thanks Yiru --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- r225881 | mav | 2011-09-29 14:42:44 -0400 (Thu, 29 Sep 2011) | 5 lines Changed paths: M /stable/7/sbin/geom M /stable/7/sbin/geom/class/journal M /stable/7/sbin/geom/class/label M /stable/7/sbin/geom/class/mirror/geom_mirror.c M /stable/7/sbin/geom/class/mirror/gmirror.8 M /stable/7/sbin/geom/class/part M /stable/7/sbin/geom/class/stripe M /stable/7/sbin/geom/misc M /stable/7/sys M /stable/7/sys/cddl/contrib/opensolaris M /stable/7/sys/contrib/dev/acpica M /stable/7/sys/contrib/pf M /stable/7/sys/geom/mirror/g_mirror_ctl.c MFC r196879: Add support for changing providers priority.
