Subject: possible minor bug: 'git apply --reject' unnecessarily touches files

Hi

I'm doing some splitting of a large patch and I noticed that when I do

   $ git apply --reject large_patch.diff

and it generates a lot of .rej files, it seems to be touching the files that produced the .rej output, even if nothing 
in that particular file was actually updated.

Not a major issue, but it would help my build times, which are considerable when working on LibreOffice :-)

Thanks, Noel Grandin
