	If you're storing metadata in a version control system with multiple branches, mtime differences are going to produce a whole bunch of conflicts that you likely don't care about. This allows you to not save mtime and avoid those. Note that we use a sentinel value of -1 for the mentry `mtimensec` field to indicate this in the data, as all values of `mtime` are theoretically valid, but `mtimensec` must always be between 0 and 999,999,999 in the real world. I'm not 100% sure about the mechanism for selecting this feature. The legacy behaviour for metastore was to save mtimes in the metadata files, but ignore them for compare/apply by default, with a `--mtime` option to use the mtime data. Keeping the legacy behaviour for backwards compatibility, but adding a `--no-mtime` option to ignore mtimes when saving felt like a reasonable way of making this happen, but something about it doesn't feel great. Maybe I just didn't figure out how to make the documentation clear enough. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
