t6022: New tests checking for unnecessary updates of files

This testcase was part of en/merge-recursive that was reverted in 6db4105
(Revert "Merge branch 'en/merge-recursive'" 2011-05-19).  While the other
changes in that series caused unfortunate breakage, this testcase is still
useful; reinstate it.
