The git racy code for index-v5 uses the mtime of the cache-entries as
smudge markers. The work of checking the file-system is loaded of to
the reader.

The racy-git code needs to be changed, to avoid problems when implementing
the partial writing for index-v5. Otherwise it could cause problems, when
we have entries that should be smudged, but are not due to the different
racy algorithms.

I'll do it with test-chmtime in the reroll though.
