The stat output for a random file in the root of the repository is as follows: ``` File: <CENSORED> Size: 91876 Blocks: 184 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 259,2 Inode: 4630629 Links: 1 Access: (0664/-rw-rw-r--) Uid: ( 1000/romasandu) Gid: ( 1000/romasandu) Access: 2024-08-29 17:41:04.855126300 +0300 Modify: 2024-08-29 17:41:04.855609000 +0300 Change: 2024-08-29 17:41:04.855609000 +0300 Birth: - ``` Maybe lack of a birth stat is what drives git crazy?
My git version is 2.43.0, which is the one from the Ubuntu 24.04 repo.
Neither `core.trustctime` nor `core.checkStat minimal` (nor a combination of them) help.
