[PATCH] 2.5 [8 of 8] 08-truncate_update_mtime.diff

[Oleg Drokin on behalf of Hans Reiser <reiser@namesys.com>]

Hello!

   truncate now correctly sets mtime always. Before this fix, mtime was not
   updated if truncated file was of zero length or if new filesize was bigger
   then old.
   Problem was noticed by Matthias Andree <ma@dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de>
