Re: consistency problem on ZFS

Hi,

I have a weird problem that seems to manifest itself only on ZFS
(actually the Zevo distribution, on OSX). With git 1.8.2.1 by the way.
I just switched to ZFS, so I can't blame that particular version of git.

"Sometimes" (I'd say something like 10-15% of the time, fairly
reproducible anyway), "git diff-files" will see changes that don't exist
for some time, then will catch up with the actual state of the file:

$ git checkout next; git diff-files; git checkout next; git diff-files
Already on 'next'
:100644 100644 bd774cccaa14e061c3c26996567ee28f4f77ec80 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 M      magit.el
Already on 'next'
$

Since you're running with Mac OS X, can I ask what version?  Have you
seen this with the regular file system (HFS) at all?  It might be that
you need to disable core.trustctime.
