Likely the copy didn't preserve meta data properly so stuff like
modification time is different. If it's between Windows and Linux,
probably ownership information too.

(When copying locally on a *nux machine, use of "rsync -a" or "cp -a"
(GNU specific) is recommended above "cp -r" for this reason, among
others.)
