That's incorrect, at least not for the 'Review' directory.

$ find .  | grep -i itktimeprobescollectorbase
./Review/itkTimeProbesCollectorBase.h
./Common/itkTimeProbesCollectorBase.h
./Common/itkTimeProbesCollectorBase.cxx


$ find .  | grep -i itktimeprobe
./Review/itkTimeProbesCollectorBase.h
./Review/itkTimeProbe.h
./Review/itkTimeProbe.cxx
./Common/itkTimeProbesCollectorBase.h
./Common/itkTimeProbesCollectorBase.cxx
./Common/itkTimeProbe.h
./Common/itkTimeProbe.cxx

2 cents,
