Subject: [PATCH] t7700: do not use "touch" unnecessarily

Some versions of touch (such as /usr/ucb/touch on Solaris) do not know about the "-r" option. This would make sense as a feature of test-chmtime, but fortunately this fix is even easier.

The test does not care about the timestamp of the .keep file it creates at all, only that it exists. For such a use case, with or without portability issues around "-r", "touch" should not be used in the first place.
