It was replaced by clock_gettime. But anyway, it is not possible to know which clock is the same as the one used for the filesystem. Since the value will be compared to st_mtime from stat(), it is better to also use stat() for the comparison.
I agree. This is all taking place during message composition, and generally the stamp is used for a file that has just been read. So there isn't likely to be much slowdown with taking a stat() for the file.
I've tried to reword the commit message. It's probably too verbose now, but better that than too terse, as it was. I'll send it out shortly for review. Please let me know if my wording is okay.
