Comment (by meejah):

 From the "earth dragons" part of the magic-folder spec, it *seems* we
 should be fine to set a modified-time "at least as old as `(now - T)`
 seconds" (but must be careful not to blindly write timestamp, as Alice's
 computer could be in the future).

 However, Tahoe's notion of the "creation time" is actually "when it got
 uploaded into Tahoe" (which of course makes some sense) so there's not
 currently any metadata about "what time the client computer thought the
 modified time was when the file was uploaded"...
