use-commit-times bug?

Good day,

When 'use-commit-times = yes', the timestamp checker in 'svn status'
thinks that all files have changed (because the timestamps are set to
the commit date), thus causing a full byte-by-byte compare of ALL files
in the repository. This is very slow.

Is this the intent?

Something quite misleading is that although in my .subversion/config
and /etc/subversion/config files I have a commented out

# use-commit-times = yes

which seems to suggest that this is the default value, it is not the case.

This suggest that the master copy within the .svn subdirectory should also 
be set to the commit time? I guess it could be enough.

shell> svn log local.mk | head -2

-r--------  1 coelho cri 292 Mar 14 18:49 .svn/text-base/local.mk.svn-base
-rw-------  1 coelho cri 334 Mar 14 18:27 local.mk

The times are indeed different with 1.1.4.

This is a bug that has been fixed in 1.2.
