I guess the problem might be related to `fossil' checking `mtime' with a too low time resolution. is this possible? it is of course irrelevant for
interactive use but not so for scripts like this one.


The default behavior is for Fossil to check both stat.st_mtime and


so the time resolution here is 1 second, right? could that not be increased
(say to 1 ms or so)?


No, at least not in a cross-platform way.  Many filesystems do not store

I see. despite the fact that I did _not_ check the whole documentation before asking the list: if it is not already explained maybe you could put a remark somewhere to the extent that switching mtime checking off for scripting purposes might be a good idea due
to the low time resolution?

timestamps with a resolution higher than one second. (Bummer, I know, but 40 years ago when mtime was first invented, a one-second timestamp was high
resolution for the hardware available!)

although quartz clocks are about that old ;-)
