Date and time stamps of files

[Ollivier Robert]

According to Matt Mackall:
> Don't mind me, I've been confusing mtime and ctime for 20 years.

And don't forget ctime is _not_ creation time...

         time_t    st_ctime;             /* time of last file status change
*/
         long      st_ctimensec;         /* nsec of last file status change
*/

It records the last change to the inode (i.e. if you change permissions,
ctime change).
