A patch file would be better. 'git format-patch' generates a good format; the 
attached patch uses that format.

system.h says this:

   It's possible for two distinct files on a buggy file system to have
   the same attributes, but it's not worth slowing down all
   implementations (or complicating the configuration) to cater to
   these rare cases in buggy implementations.

Please keep that in mind when proposing a patch.

Thanks for reporting that. I installed the attached patch to work around the 
problem.
