If you pull a model, but there are no changes, then the modified column will show that the model was modified seconds ago, even if it hadn't actually been modified in weeks. It should show the last time the actual model was modified

@pdevine: I'd be nervous to change this given its been the behaviour for the past 2 years.

If we don't want to change the meaning of the existing column, there could be some additional column that represents the remote last modified date or similar
