freshen_file(): use NULL `times' for implicit current-time
Update freshen_file() to use a NULL `times', semantically equivalent to the currently setup, with an explicit `actime' and `modtime' set to the "current time", but with the advantage that it works with other files not owned by the current user. Fixes an issue on shared repos with a split index, where eventually a user's operation creates a shared index, and another user will later do an operation that will try to update its freshness, but will instead raise a warning: $ git status warning: could not freshen shared index '.git/sharedindex.bd736fa10e0519593fefdb2aec253534470865b2' Signed-off-by: Luciano Miguel Ferreira Rocha <luciano.rocha@booking.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
