We could teach RevisionTree and compare_trees about file properties and
then change the 'meta_modified' flag in Delta if any of the properties
changed. However, this makes it hard to compare trees that come from
different repository formats - for example, comparing two indentical
trees from Subversion and Bazaar with the same ignores will still result
in a non-empty delta.
