Change the source code such that when USE_NSEC is not defined,
possible nanosecond timestamps will still be saved in the index file,
but not used inside if-test's, and will therefore not affect the
outcome of GIT commands, other than the saved nanosecond timestamps in
the index file.

This will make it easier to use a system with 2 versions of GIT, one
with and one without USE_NSEC defined.

I take it that you are responding to my earlier question with this
patch?

  Yes, you are correct.

 [....]

    How does this affect a use case where the same index file used with two 
    instances of git (one compiled with and another without USE_NSEC)?

  If both persons in this use case use this patch, the one with USE_NSEC
  defined will now be able to take full advantage of the nanosecond
  timestamps at all times.

  The one without USE_NSEC defined should not be able to tell the
  difference (without looking into to details of the index file).
