But it almost certainly happens. Perhaps not the whole working copy but
   consider the scenario where someone wants to edit a few files
elsewhere, zips them up, does some work on another machine, zips the new
versions up the machine with a different clock, brings them back and
unzips on top of the original. I'd expect that to happen all the time.
