As noted in a recent proposed patch to t/t7519-status-fsmonitor.sh, a number
of test cases in t\t7063-status-untracked-cache.sh explicitly sleep a
second, in order to avoid the untracked cache content being invalidated by
an mtime race condition.

Even though it's only 9 seconds of sleeping that can be straightforwardly
replaced, it seems worth fixing if possible.

Replace sleep calls with backdating of filesystem changes, but first fix the
test-tool chmtime functionality to work for directories in Windows.

I do have a question to the list here: Do mingw.c changes need to be
upstreamed somewhere? I don't understand the exact relationship between this
file and the MinGW project.

Tao Klerks (2):
  t/helper/test-chmtime: update mingw to support chmtime on directories
  t7063: mtime-mangling instead of delays in untracked cache testing
