:When stat'ing a file with tid, hammer seems to always return the "first" ti=
:me
:for mtime, not the real mtime. However undo -i can retrieve this time, so =
:it
:possibly isn't lost.
Note that the fixed mtime/atime for files accessed via a TID is to
ensure that snapshots remain consistent. Otherwise if you do something
such as tar up a snapshot and pipe it to md5, and then do it again
later, you will get a different result.
We may be able to do some refinement there, but whatever is returned
by the snapshot has to be returned every time the snapshot is accessed.
