Semantically they're somewhat different. My flags are for ignoring
a value when it's not used as indicated by the value zero, while
trustctime is for ignoring untrustworthy, non-zero, values.

>From 1ce4790bf5e:
    A new configuration variable 'core.trustctime' is introduced to
    allow ignoring st_ctime information when checking if paths
    in the working tree has changed, because there are situations where
    it produces too much false positives.  Like when file system crawlers
    keep changing it when scanning and using the ctime for marking scanned
    files.

Different compilers have different defaults. I'm on OS X (mountain lion), or am I missing
something? I do get a warning. Am I allowed to modify the value, like strtok does? Seems I
missed the opportunity to use the copy rather then the original value.

Another thing that I noticed, is that I probably wanto to be able to filter on the precision
of timestamps. Again, this i JGit-related. Current JGit has milliseconds precision (max), whereas
Git has down to nanosecond precision in timestamps. Newer JGits may get nanoseconds timestamps too,
but on current Linux versions JGit gets only integral seconds regardless of file system. 

Would the names, milli, micro, nano be good for ignoring the tail when zero, or n1..n9 (obviously
n2 would be ok too). nN = ignore all but first N nsec digits if they are zero)?
