timestamps with nanosecond precision not preserved

Hi, it seems that this fork didn't pull the patch for https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/3575 More specifically the original version from github.com/MidnightCommander/mc.git works fine while https://github.com/mooffie/mc.git shows the problem (these are built and used on ubuntu x64 if it matters, actually with btrfs now I realize that might be of some importance).

Maybe this fork it's too old or not maintained anymore, no problem, just dully reporting this in case there is any interest.

FYI there is some interest in creating a VFS plugin for arbitrary rclone remotes ( https://forum.rclone.org/t/vfs-plugin-for-mc/5657 ). rclone is an immensely popular, useful and well maintained project but not many people know enough (or even of) Midnight Commander. The idea is to use this mc with LUA support, but it's in its infancy.

Two things:

Maybe this fork it's too old or not maintained anymore,

Don't worry: it's certainly not abandoned.

It's just that I've been busy with other things (not computer-related), and I haven't seen a pressing need to "rebase" mc^2 (nobody has asked me to do this, and I was quite satisfied with the current version -- I'm using it daily).

I do plan to "rebase" mc^2 soon. If I don't, please nag me.

Even if it did (I believe it did), I'll need to expose these finer timestamps in the Lua structure representing a statbuf. I believe I haven't. I'll need to design it in a way that will still let programmers use it the traditional way.
