TortoiseSVN does not recognize a file as modified!

If you have modified a file, but TortoiseSVN does not recognize that the file has been modified, please first check whether the file really differs from what you have in your working copy.

If you know for sure that the file has modifications and it still does not show up as modified in the commit dialog, make sure that

• the file 'last modification' date has changed (some tools like hex editors like to reset that time)
• if the svn:eol-style property is set and the changes are only to newlines, the file won't show up as modified because for Subversion it hasn't changed

Subversion determines whether a file has changed with the following approach:

1. has the 'last modification' date and/or the file size changed?
2. if not: file is not modified
3. if yes: compare file content with the BASE file
4. stop at the first byte that differs, mark the file as modified
5. if no byte differs regarding to BASE, mark the file as not-modified
