I have an Ubuntu 12.04 machine and I see the expected behaviour: lots of different timestamps. I have run the Subversion tests on Ubuntu 10.04 in the past without a problem. If you do a Subversion checkout of something like http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_wc do you see all the working files with different timestamps? If you then remove the working files and run 'svn revert -R' all the files should be restored in a fraction of a second. Do they all have different timestamps? You could also try mounting a tmpfs filesystem: sudo mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt Do you get the same timestamp behaviour on that filesystem? -- Certified & Supported Apache Subversion Downloads: http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download
