I noticed this problem as well, when I'm compiling with USE_NSEC = 1
in my config.mak.

Tracking this problem down a bit, it happens because the --chmod=[+-]x
option introduced in 4e55ed32 ("add: add --chmod=+x / --chmod=-x
options") only works if the file on disk is modified.  When the test
was changed to work on one single file, instead of doing chmod=+x on
one file and chmod=-x on another file in b38ab197c ("t3700: merge two
tests into one"), this test started breaking when the mtime of the
file and the index file weren't the same (in other words, if the file
was not racily clean and thus was not smudged).

When the file is racily clean, git detects that the contents changed,
and everything is happy, but if it isn't, git incorectly thinks the
file wasn't modified (which it wasn't, but from gits view it should be
viewed as modified because the mode does not match up anymore).

One possible fix for the test is to smudge the entry as showed below,
though I'm not sure it's the right fix.  The other way I can think of
is to change the file in the index regardless of whether the file was
changed in some other way before issuing the git add command, as that
might fit the user expectation better.  Thoughts?
