cake schema update wants to alter the whole database

Hello,

I'm attempting to version my sites schema, by running the following command:

$ cake -connection dev schema generate -f

Which AFAIK generates an appropriate schema.php. To test the newly
generated schema I attempt an update:

$ cake -connection dev schema update

Here I expect a 'Schema is up to date message', instead the console
attempts to ALTER every table and column. A similar behavior has been
documented in the below link.

I'm either missing what generate/update is meant to be used for or I'm
doing something wrong.
