Basically if a file is updated within a second (and the system only supports timestamp granuarity down to a second) then git can't know if a file is changed by comparing stat data, so it compares content anyway. With watchman, I think we know that a file is updated or not and can disable racy test. How often this happens and whether it is worth supporting is something to think about. -- Duy
