At the time I was working on this bug, I assumed ctime meant "creation
time", but now I realize that it is defined as "time of last status
change". No wonder 'I' and 'c' are incompatible, because if the filename
changed, the ctime is updated. Duh.
However, I don't like the idea of automatically ignoring 'c' when 'I' is
in effect. Instead I'll update the man page. We can't prevent people
from writing bad rules.
Sincerely,
Richard van den Berg
