i don't have an answer to your question, but note that the timestamp of a
dir gets changed every time a file in that dir is added or removed
(possibly at other times):

[odroid@host:~/fossil/libfossil/s2]$ l -d ../th1ish
drwxr-xr-x 5 odroid odroid 4096 Jul 17 21:23 ../th1ish

[odroid@host:~/fossil/libfossil/s2]$ touch ../th1ish/foo.bar

[odroid@host:~/fossil/libfossil/s2]$ l -d ../th1ish
drwxr-xr-x 5 odroid odroid 4096 Jul 18 12:20 ../th1ish
