FAT stores time with a granularity of 2 seconds... and so it is (or at
least was) necessary to use --modify-window=1 to accommodate that when
rsyncing to/from a Unix machine.  (Perhaps that is built into modern
rsyncs?)  I was only guessing that there was another 3600 seconds of
uncertainty a couple of times of year.
