Comment:
* I suggest naming as few things as possible “ctime”. {{{ :-) }}}
* Even though Mac OS X is a Unix, it keeps file creation time metadata,
at least on its native HFS+ filesystems. I would ''guess'' it does not
have the {{{st_ctime}}} confusion, but I don't know how the creation time
actually is accessed. If Tahoe backups have a field for creation time, it
would be good to preserve this information (I often find it useful as a
user, and would be irritated if my hypothetical Tahoe-based personal
backups failed to preserve it).
