would be more to the point of what is going on, here.   But I
also wonder if untracked cache itself could/should be doing this
internally.

Still wondering :>

There's nothing we can do besides maybe run a cron job executing
'sync' every second or so. We need to force mtime to be written down
close to.. you know.. mtime. By the time git is executed, it's already
late. You can execute 'sync' inside git then wait a couple seconds..
but that's just stupid. And removing the racy check is even more
dangerous, now you can get false output.
