I'm guessing there are changes in the attributes, particularly the
lastmodified field, and maybe author. Probably these changes prompt
the entry. But it would be good I suppose if PmWiki could avoid
recording these changes. Unless there's cases where a user might want
to "touch" a file for some reason... But even then, perhaps PmWiki
could skip the recent changes entry. I dunno, just thinking out loud.
