Subject: [PATCH v2 01/11] p7519: do not rely on "xargs -d" in test

From: "Jeff Hostetler via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 03 Feb 2021 15:34:40 +0000

From: Jeff Hostetler <[email-masked]>

Convert the test to use a more portable method to update the mtime on a
large number of files under version control.

The Mac version of xargs does not support the "-d" option.
Likewise, the "-0" and "--null" options are not portable.

Furthermore, use `test-tool chmtime` rather than `touch` to update the
mtime to ensure that it is actually updated (especially on file systems
with only whole second resolution).
