t0027: make commit_chk_wrnNNO() reliable

tboegi · gitster · commit ded2444ad8ab · 2016-04-25T12:10:48.000-07:00
When the content of a commited file is unchanged and the attributes
are changed, Git may not detect that the next commit must treat the
file as changed.  This happens when lstat() doesn't detect a change,
since neither inode, mtime nor size are changed.

Add a single "Z" character to change the file size and content.
When the files are compared later in checkout_files(), the "Z" is
removed before the comparison.
