[Podman] Why does Podman update the "Change" timestamp on files shared between host and guest ?

Hi, I'm using Podman in my build environment. As part of the build I bind a directory from the host to a directory in the container. Even though the guest doesn't touch the file in any way, afterwards I can see that the file's "Change" timestamp has been updated, so I am assuming it is podman that does this. According to https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/2464/timestamp-modification-time... the "Change" timestamp is described as "the last time meta data of the file was changed (e.g. permissions)". I am wondering what meta data it is that podman changes, and if it can be avoided somehow ? (Mainly because it tricks git/gitk into thinking something might have changed). Regards Jacob
