------- Comment #1 from wayned at samba.org  2009-09-07 16:21 CST -------
The latest git repository has support for nanosecond timestamp values.  The
values are transferred as part of the file-list (when both sides are speaking
the most recent (dev-version) protocol 31), and the receiver will attempt to
set it.  Probably only works on Linux at the moment.

Things to enhance:

 * Figure out if there are other nanosecond setting functions that should be
supported besides utimensat().
 * Figure out a good heuristic for allowing the nanoseconds to be compared
(when determining if a file is up-to-date) without getting tripped up by those
filesystems that round/truncate time values.

The current code leaves the quick-check algorithm unchanged, as it only checks
the file's size, and the seconds portion of the modtime.
