As Junio pointed out to me, Git actually already does what I want when
switching branches. To verify, I switched between 5 branches after
setting a specific timestamp on a particular file, and it did not
change throughout the process. Now I'm left wondering when this
changed or whether my memory is faulty. I could have sworn this did
not work previously. :-)
