    war on "sleep" in tests · 016e5ff2

    In many places in test suite we have "sleep"s that do not have to be
    there.
    
     - I do not simply see the point of the one in t3500.  It may be making
       sure that the timestamp order of commits generated during the test is
       stable, in which case test_tick is the right ingredient to use without
       wasting tester's time.
    
     - The one in t4011 is to make sure that the plumbing diff-index notices
       the stat-dirtyness of a removed then identically recreated symlink.
       Keeping the old symlink around to make sure that a newly created
       symlink gets different ino would be sufficient for that purpose.
    
     - The one in t7600 is to make sure that "git merge" does not get confused
       by stat-dirty "file" in the working tree.  Again, keeping the old file
       around and creating an identical copy to ensure a different ino would
       be sufficient for that purpose.
    
    The "racy git" tests in t0010 are inherently about mtime between the index
    itself and index entries.  The "sleep" in that test must stay as they are.
