Something wrong with ports sources timestamps

[Sergey Fedorov]

Everything started re-indexing again now.

This was never happening with official sources.

(It does happen with *my* sources, because git updates timestamps on all
files, and MacPorts thinks that all ports are changed, and I just do not
know how to fix this annoying behavior, but at least my sources are a) my
problem, after all, and b) re-indexing 500 ports is fine – but not 40k+.)

On slower hardware re-indexing everything translated in a multi-hour
time-waste. And I do not only mean G4 machines.
My modern, but using a slow SD card, RISC-V tablet takes forever to index
all ports, far longer than a PowerMac.
