As noted in a recent proposed patch to t/t7519-status-fsmonitor.sh, a number of test cases in t\t7063-status-untracked-cache.sh explicitly sleep a second, in order to avoid the untracked cache content being invalidated by an mtime race condition. Even though it's only 9 seconds of sleeping that can be straightforwardly replaced, it seems worth fixing if possible. Replace sleep calls with backdating of filesystem changes, but first fix the test-tool chmtime functionality to work for directories in Windows. I do have a question to the list here: Do mingw.c changes need to be upstreamed somewhere? I don't understand the exact relationship between this file and the MinGW project.
