I wish I knew more details on this... I wonder if this is related to IDEA-14942? I had made some changes to a few different files, and then committed them (to CVS) via IntelliJ. Now, whenever I go to view the files which were committed at that time all show at the top of the file: Outdated version. Modified by jgindin on Oct 31, 2007 3:31:37 PM: .... I do notice that these same files show up in the "Incoming" changes list, no matter how many times I click on the "Update Project" link at the far right end of the "Outdated version" message.
