Comment(by terrell):

 So, there are four semantics in the above discussion - numbering them for
 ease of future discussion...

  1) unix ctime - when inode last changed (contents or metadata
 (owner/permissions) changed)

  2) unix mtime - when file contents last changed

  3) tahoe create time - the most recent time that the link was created
 when there was previously no link under that name

  4) tahoe modify time - the most recent time that the link was changed to
 point to a new node than it previously pointed to
