There's nothing wrong with having a directory that's got a newer
timestamp than any of the files it contains:

$ mkdir test
$ cd test
$ touch something
$ ls -al
total 6
drwxr-xr-x 2 michael michael 1024 Jul 9 17:58 .
drwxrwxrwt 15 root root 5120 Jul 9 17:58 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 michael michael 0 Jul 9 17:58 something
$ sleep 60
$ touch test
$ rm test
$ ls -al
total 6
drwxr-xr-x 2 michael michael 1024 Jul 9 17:59 .
drwxrwxrwt 15 root root 5120 Jul 9 17:58 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 michael michael 0 Jul 9 17:58 something

I should hope that wouldn't mess up a working copy :)
