Subject: git checkout behaviour when only ctime of file changes
Message-ID: <CAOWQn3Qesh0+CkaD95q78Rq_vN5tjWKDe7HTk0Ynk-NY8XUKzg@mail.gmail.com>

I thought you may want to take a look at
https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-65395.

Basically after something updates the ctime of a file, a
"git checkout" can behave differently depending on whether a
"git update-index --refresh" has been run before or not.
_Maybe_ it could make sense for "git checkout" to always behave as if
"git update-index --refresh" had been run before? No idea really.

I have seen this with git version 2.30.2.
