Hi Marc,

    .info?

Right :).

    because timestamps are similar for both files.

That should not be.

Do you have use-commit-times = yes in ~/.subversion/config (or
equivalent file)?  If not, that's the problem.

Or, if you use rsync to get the sources, looking at the directory which
serves the rsync (which has use-commit-times=yes, of course), I see:

tug$ ls -l --full-time tlbui*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 karl root 219730 2017-03-19 23:35:15.623885528 +0100 tlbuild.info
-rw-rw-r-- 1 karl root  88896 2017-03-19 23:34:41.694710514 +0100 tlbuild.texi

tlbuild.info is clearly newer than tlbuild.texi on this side. Since it
was not in your checkout, something is not preserving timestamps.
rsync -a?

You can expect the annoyance to recur every time any .texi file is
touched, if it isn't fixed for real ... :( --best, karl.
