But that's the point: you can't do that without a race condition. Your
test gets a sense of the current time, then runs git, which checks the
current time again. How many seconds elapsed between the two checks?

How _many_ do you need?

I don't understand what you're trying to say. My point is that if you
are checking results to a one-second precision, you need to know whether
zero seconds elapsed, or one second, or two seconds, or whatever to get
a consistent result.
