 Git contains a heuristic that considers a file as unchanged if its
 modification time is the same as when it was last added to the repository
 thus avoiding having to diff the file and its repository copy. Formaline
 commit 68dddf3 circumvents this by using plumbing commands that always
 read the file to compute a hash potentially slowing down Formaline
 significantly
