why does mtime(1) run against the top-level 2019/ directory show it
was modified at exactly the same time as 2019/12/03/, while 2019/12/
shows it was modified at exactly the same time as 2019/12/05/?
shouldn't 2019/ show it was modified at the same time as 2019/12/05/
(this was the last directory modified under 2019/)?
both directories 2019/ and 2019/12/ already existed before 2019/03/
and 2019/05/ were created.
