Bug#1059324: subversion: "svn revert -R" signals reverted files with no changes

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: subversion
Version: 1.14.2-5+b1
Severity: important

I get the following:

qaa% svn st
M       config.dat
M       dpkg-l
M       grub.cfg
M       mutt-v
M       postconf
M       selections
M       version.out
qaa% svn pl -v etc/apache2/mods-available/dnssd.conf
Properties on 'etc/apache2/mods-available/dnssd.conf':
  source
    qaa:/etc/apache2/mods-available/dnssd.conf
  svn:mime-type
    text/plain
qaa% svn diff etc/apache2/mods-available/dnssd.conf
qaa% svn revert -R .
Reverted 'selections'
Reverted 'version.out'
Reverted 'postconf'
Reverted 'etc/apache2/conf-available/javascript-common.conf'
Reverted 'etc/apache2/mods-available/dnssd.load'
Reverted 'etc/apache2/mods-available/dnssd.conf'
Reverted 'mutt-v'
Reverted 'config.dat'
Reverted 'grub.cfg'
Reverted 'dpkg-l'
qaa% svn pl -v etc/apache2/mods-available/dnssd.conf
Properties on 'etc/apache2/mods-available/dnssd.conf':
  source
    qaa:/etc/apache2/mods-available/dnssd.conf
  svn:mime-type
    text/plain
qaa% 

I don't see why etc/apache2/mods-available/dnssd.conf is signaled
as reverted. Is there some data corruption somewhere?

This seems reproducible.
