[for the archives: this is about intermittent failures of t3903-stash.sh
with MinGW git]

"after finding i_tree and i_commit" is immediately before calculating

Ah, now I recall everything: git-stash.sh does "cp -p", and from the times
where git-commit was still a shell script I know that this does not always
preserve the timestamp correctly. Since this is a bug attributable to MSYS
(and not MinGW git), I was satisfied by simply inserting 'sleep 1' in the
test case to avoid the racily-clean situation. (Although today, I would
modify the content to have a different size.)
