The file index is limited to 1s resolution, which means that scripted use of darcs needs to use -- ignore-times to avoid it incorrectly reporting that files haven't changed. There are at options for getting higher resolution timestamps from at least some filesystems: we should use them if possible. Notes: - See http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7473 - POSIX.1-2008 specifies st_atim.tv_nsec - Win32 API needs to be done separately - Need to bump index version and widen the timestamp
