The latter; all control over timestamps on directory operations is in
filesystems. Which filesystem it is, BTW? E.g. ext2 has
dir->i_mtime = dir->i_ctime = CURRENT_TIME_SEC;
in ext2_set_link() (and the same in ext2_add_entry()/ext2_delete_entry()),
so on all paths in ext2_rename() both parents will get ctime and mtime
updated; so will the object being moved and the object being unlinked
(explicitly in ext2_rename()).
