Minor aesthetic change, but one I do agree. One concern I also

I'm not 100% clear what those properties are for, but I'm pretty sure
you are complicating matters too much by suggesting them.
Judging from the response to my rfc, I probably made
a mistake in posting it without considerable forethought.
At that point in time, I thought that it would be more
'informative' were we to include the different properties
to allow users to look up when the file/directory was
added (imported, committed, merged, etc). Given your
comment, I suppose the required work (as implied by the
RFC) is probably far less effective/efficient in
dev time usage.
I think Philip's example was assuming that 'foo' was a versioned file
that was checked out, and this step is modifying its mtime but not its
content, and wondering what status that would show and what would happen
at commit time.
My bad. I had misunderstood his post.
