Like fat, but then the last test fails on FAT, which wasn't the case. Any other reasonable file systems that comes to your mind?

Jason, could you provide us with some more information on OS, fs, cvs version etc.

Whether timestamp granularity is larger than a second or not can be checked with this line, I think:

	touch a && ls --full-time a && sleep 1 && touch a && ls --full-time a

Sample output where the timestamps are roughly one second apart. -rw-r--r-- 1 me me 0 2007-07-24 14:15:47.330927250 +0200 a -rw-r--r-- 1 me me 0 2007-07-24 14:15:48.338990250 +0200 a
