I am not completely happy about mentioning HFS+ in the patch for HFS.
:) We make this fix because HFS should work in correct way but not
because HFS+ does it. Imagine that HFS+ will completely disappear or
HFS+ code will be heavily changed. Nobody will be able to follow this
comment. I prefer to see the explanation something like "The file ctime
should be updated after rename operation and blah, blah, blah". :)
