No, this "trick" is not new.  Bazaar has used the mtime as an indicator
of whether a file has changed since bzr-0.0.5 in July 2005.

If your disk image is being modified without having its mtime updated, I
would argue that's the wrong thing.  The mtime should always be updated
when the contents of a file change.
