I think this is because there *is* a subtle modification regardless, the mergepoint needs to be committed. But then again if no merge took place (result of merge is same as base revision) then no mergepoint is really needed... Maybe Tony can explain...

Some files that were not modified in BR1 appeared as modified in HEAD after the merge. I expected that these files would not be commited, because cvs diff command returns no diferences at all, but for my suprise, cvsnt committed them. Last week I know that if a file timestamp is different from the one in the repository it may be marked as modified, but when committing cvsnt will check the modifications, if they don't exist cvsnt should not committ the file unless I specifiy that option. Why in the case of the merge this is not accomplished. The problem is not critic, but when merging I have to check if this rare case arises to committ these files with a message that indicates that the file has not been chaned, so the repository will store revision that shouldn't. These happens with a few files, our repository stores lots of files, but only a few show this problem. I have not found a connection between them for now. Does somebody knows what the problem is? I am using CVSNT 2.0.58d as server and WinCVS 1.3.20.2 Beta 20 (build 2). Thanks a lot.
