Why would you have expected that? (Genuine question.)

Why is this annoying? (Also genuine question.)

The current behavior is motivated by a desire to make "update"
consistent with "checkout". We could set the file dates to the commit
time for a checkout, but "update" would have to use the current time for
changed files, or we would risk causing failures in "make".
