I'm a time-traveler?

    I am very confused by something.

    I have a custom theme derived from cloudy.  It's different enough that SVN has trouble merging, so I keep cloudy "clean" and have my variant in its own dir.

    Once in a while, I go through diffs in cloudy and decide what I want to bring over.  I did so yesterday, when cloudy/style.css was at 5485.

    One of the changes I copied was putting "dot dot slash dot dot" on the beginning of a path near the end of the file.

    Today, I noticed that the file had moved from 5485 to 5503, and I decided to go ahead and check.  My SVN client is telling me that the change I had _already_ copied was made in 5503 today, NOT 5485 yesterday.

    Now I would never pretend I am immune to mistakes.  It's entirely possible for me to make a mistake and get the revision.  BUT, what I copied, I copied from the SVN diffs view, and I did it _yesterday_  How can this be?  (OK, I understand about time zones, too, but my time zone is minus five, and I did that before midnight last night, several hours before 5503 was committed.)

      SVN 5503 was committed on Tuesday, so it was probably simply a problem with the timestamp in your svn client.
