[ILUG] Subversion not seeing working copy changes

Hi,
Probably a bit of a random question but hopefully, someone where will have
experience with subversion.

I have a subversion working copy running on Debian Etch ( Linux Etch
2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686 ).  It accesses a svn server running svnserve hosted
on a Solaris 10 Sparc.

Ordinarily,  everything is working fine, but at the moment I am renaming a
number of header files within a pretty large c++ application.  To avoid
doing it manually I figured a bit of find and sed would do the trick

find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/FILE1.h/FILE2.h/g' {} \;

Now this seems to work just fine all files are updated, but the last
modification time is not changed.

I'm assuming because of this svn status is not reporting these files as
being changed.


Questions:
1.  Is there a better way of doing this
2.  Is there a way to force accept these changes in a commit

Thanks All,
Sean
