Hmm, this seemed eerily familiar, and sure enough:

Does this call for a git_touch which does a regular 'touch' for each
of its arguments?

I don't know the broken touch's behavior, and I don't have it handy. It
might handle "touch 1" fine or it might interpret it as "touch at time
1, no file arguments". Brandon's solution is good enough for a test
script.

If you really wanted a portable git_touch, you would spell it ">>$file".
