Thanks for the prompt reply and the patch. I'm surprised this hasn't been
mentioned before as every other Unix filesystem I've used has not updated
the moved file's mtime during a rename(2). It's also odd that XFS only
changes the mtime when there's a new parent.
What does everyone else think? Would it be possible to have this patch or a
similar one committed upstream?
