Restored directory mtime does not match the backup

Hi,

I was comparing backed up and restored file lists and I noticed that directory mtime is always changed from how it was on the source.

mtime gets changed to be the same as the newest file mtime in the directory.

I believe that happens in this code which runs at restore time:
snapshot/snapshotfs/repofs.go

// EntryFromDirEntry returns a filesystem entry based on the directory entry.
func EntryFromDirEntry(r repo.Repository, md *snapshot.DirEntry) fs.Entry {
    re := repositoryEntry{
        metadata: md,
        repo:     r,
    }

    switch md.Type {
    case snapshot.EntryTypeDirectory:
        if md.DirSummary != nil {
            md.FileSize = md.DirSummary.TotalFileSize
            md.ModTime = md.DirSummary.MaxModTime  <====== Possible reason
        }

        return fs.Directory(&repositoryDirectory{re, md.DirSummary})

If I print md.ModTime before the marked line it is correct but then it gets changed to md.DirSummary.MaxModTime which matches what is getting restored.
This affects “ls -l” and the restore.

Is this how restore works by design or it is a side effect for something that is needed at backup time when comparing files for incremental?
