Hi Raj, As far as my understanding goes if the time stamp of a file changes, CVS will consider it "different". The timestamps of the checkedout files are stored in CVS/Entries.

I tried to see the difference b/w the two versions, and I could not see any difference except the time they both were committed and the version numbers. Please help me to know the concept. This helps me a lot. Thanks, -Raj
