Description Michael Valenta CLA 2003-03-04 14:54:32 EST 
We have a mechanism which filters out changes that we make to meta-files. 
Certain files are not included in this filtering (namely .cvsignore, CVS/Tag, 
CVS/Template). We need to determine if the filtering should apply to these 
files as well. To reproduce, perform the following steps:

1. Load a version of a project
2. Perform a checkout of the project
3. EclipseSynchronizer#syncFilesChanged gets invoked.

My understanding is that syncFilesChanged is only supposed to be called in 
response to external changes to the sync files.

This is an optimization that is not required and we have no plan to address it.
