[Duplicity-talk] subsecond mtime not preserved in archives

[Peter Schuller]

Hello,

I noticed that --verify always generated different mtime for all files
in a backup set when run on ZFS. Changing the printout to report
un-prettified mtimes yields:

Difference found: File test has mtime Mon Sep 10 22:18:54 2007 (1189455534.39), 
expected Mon Sep 10 22:18:54 2007 (1189455534)

Thus, the problem seems to be that sub-second mtimes are not preserved
in the backup archives.

Does anyone have opinions as to whether the proper fix to this should
be to store subsecond mtimes in the archives (if that is even possible
given that it's tar files), or whether the comparison should simply be
made rounded?
