Hmph, depending on the timestamp granularity, with this patch,
test.r would have mtime that is the same or a bit later than that of
the index file.  Is it sufficient to really "force" Git to check the
contents, or does it just make the likelyhood that it would choose
to check a bit bigger (in other words, are we solving the race, or
merely making the race window smaller)?

Thanks.
