Thanks.
I should drop the t7800-modernize topic and queue this under a
better name. Perhaps "difftool-no-overwrite-on-copyback", or
something.

Do we need to run these two comparisons unconditionally?
It appears to me that in a sane and safe setting (i.e. $symlinks is
set and the "diff viewer" touches the file through the symbolic
link) does not ever look at wt_modified/tmp_modified at all because
the first check in the loop will always trigger.
I wonder if it makes sense to populate these two hashes lazily so
that the safe case does not have to pay the penalty at all.

"exists" if only for consistency?
