[Spacewalk-list] Snapshot Rollback always redeploys all configuration files

SW 1.6 on RHEL 5.7.

Update a single RPM.

Check provisioning and snapshots and note the one available that has 
that single package to rollback.

Notice it claims there are changes to be rolled back on:
"System Group Membership"
"Configuration Files"

If you rollback it appears to actually perform this. ie: Files that were 
never deployed to server get deployed.

None of these happened. Even checks of the files manually shows the 
checksums are the same and the contents are the same visually. 
Additionally they were neither changed nor redeployed. Actually some 
were never even deployed to this server.

Even stranger, if I visit the lastest snapshot which should be the 
"current state" it still shows all of these same "System Group 
Membership" and "Configuration Files" as having rollbacks.

Anyone else seen this issue? Configuration setting on my end? Bug? This 
is not how it should be working is it? Kind of at a loss here.

Thanks.
