In unpack-trees.c, in verify_uptodate_1, we check ie_match_stat. This returns OWNER_CHANGED if a file has changed ownership since the index was updated. Do we actually care about that particular case? Or really anything other than DATA_CHANGED?

(We noticed this due to a bug in our watchman code, which fakes up the owners, but it's a general question).
