Obnam is using the Python os.lstat method to get metadata from files.
Python returns timestamps as floats, which are awkward to store on
disk. It would be good to switch to a C extension that does the lstat
system call and returns timestamps as (pairs of) integers instead.
This would allow full timestamp precision.
