There is nothing wrong with changing the timestamp of a file versioned
under Bazaar. It will be not flagged as modified on `bzr status'.
OTOH, a change on size indicates a change on content, and this will be
flagged as an edited file (modulo eol settings, which bazaar supports as
system-wide options).
Lennart: if you copy files on Windows from your CVS working tree to your
bzr working tree maybe you will see files flagged as modified due to
differences on eol.
