This is no longer true: a side effect of having SVN exported to CVS is that every time a branch is forked, the CVS ID is bumped, and as a result is different between 7.0 and 7.1 even if the file itself isn't changed.

As long as this is handled with -U, however, I'm not sure I see the need for special handling. I'd love to see the -U otion as default, and a pre-populated mtree database for it shipped with the releases, however. This would go a long way towards making upgrading more user-friendly.
