On Windows, this is more likely to manifest because Git relies on
inode changes as a fallback when other stat fields match, but Windows

"inode" -> "inode number" (or "ino" / "inum")?

I suspect the same issue would bite users on network file systems,
so while avoiding problematic scenarios in tests may improve the
pass rate of the tests, we may want to fix the underlying issue with
the difftool command for real in the longer term.

Regardless, will queue this updated patch.  Thanks.
