[PATCH] write_index(): update index_stat->timestamp after flushing to disk

From: Kjetil Barvik <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:46:15
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Since this timestamp is used to check for racy-clean files, it is
important to keep it uptodate.

For the 'git checkout' command without the '-q' option, this make a
huge difference.  Before, each and every file which was updated, was
racy-clean after the call to unpack_trees() and write_index() but
before the GIT process ended.

And because of the call to show_local_changes() in builtin-checkout.c,
we ended up reading those files back into memory, doing a SHA1 to
check if the files was really different from the index.  And, of
course, no file was different.

With this fix, 'git checkout' without the '-q' option should now be
almost as fast as with the '-q' option, but not quite, as we still do
some few lstat(2) calls more without the '-q' option.
