I don't see why etc/apache2/mods-available/dnssd.conf is signaled
as reverted. Is there some data corruption somewhere?
This seems reproducible.
But see also the following thread I've started: https://lists.apache.org/thread/p1ky889bxwy8okqly7h1lgckxfpldnxs There are actually 2 related issues: 1. "svn revert" wants to set the write permission (even if there are no changes), and if the file was regarded as read-only, a confusing "Reverted" message is output. 2. The consequence of 1 is possibly repeated "Reverted" messages if the file belongs to a different user. In my case, the cause was that the concerned files were belonging to root (this was a mistake). So this was issue 2 (and partially 1). The upstream bug currently corresponds to issue 2 only. But I think that issue 1 should also be regarded as a bug, unless there is a good reason for "svn revert" to set the write permission (to be discussed upstream). In case the behavior will not change, the output message would need a clarification.
Let's have a bug title with more details...
