core.checkStat::
Determines which stat fields to match between the index
and work tree. The user can set this to 'default' or
'minimal'. Default (or explicitly 'default'), is to check
all fields, including the sub-second part of mtime and ctime.
When missing or is set to `default`, many fields in the stat
structure are checked to detect if a file has been modified
since Git looked at it. When this configuration variable is
set to `minimal`, sub-second part of mtime and ctime, the
uid and gid of the owner of the file, the inode number (and
the device number, if Git was compiled to use it), are
excluded from the check among these fields, leaving only the
whole-second part of mtime (and ctime, if `core.trustCtime`
is set) and the filesize to be checked.

There are implementations of Git that do not leave usable values in
some fields (e.g. JGit); by excluding these fields from the
comparison, the `minimal` mode may help interoperability when the
same repository is used by these other systems at the same time.
