Hi

The patch is buggy - it only changes time in memory and never saves it to 
the disk, it doesn't change time when we rename non-directory entry. It 
also doesn't change time on other directory modifications - creating or 
deleting files.

I will send a correct patch at the beginning of the next merge window.
