+#!/bin/sh
+#
+# This test covers the handling of objects which might have old
+# mtimes in the filesystem (because they were used previously)
+# and are just now becoming referenced again.
+#
+# We're going to do two things that are a little bit "fake" to
+# help make our simulation easier:
+#
+#   1. We'll turn off reflogs. You can still run into
+#      problems with reflogs on, but your objects
+#      don't get pruned until both the reflog expiration
+#      has passed on their references, _and_ they are out
+#      of prune's expiration period. Dropping reflogs
+#      means we only have to deal with one variable in our tests,
+#      but the results generalize.
+#
+#   2. We'll use a temporary index file to create our
+#      works-in-progress. Most workflows would mention
+#      referenced objects in the index, which prune takes
+#      into account. However, many operations don't. For
+#      example, a partial commit with "git commit foo"
+#      will use a temporary index. Or they may not need
+#      an index at all (e.g., creating a new commit
+#      to refer to an existing tree).
