Hey Artem, thanks for the patch.

This line was forgotten to be updated when information about st_birthtime was first added into the manual page.

Nice, so we want to find that commit and put it at the bottom of the commit message like Fixes: <shorthash> ("Commit title").

We can see up here that this page is organized in a AaBbCc style instead of ASCII, so we should try to align with that when we add the B below.

Well, I'm a little confused then: if it is AaBbCc, then why it's 'amc' now, if according to the AaBbCc style it should be 'acm'? Or do you mean that the current version is wrong too?

I put B in the end because later in this page (in 'datum') they are listed like: 'a, m, c, B', so I picked this style to be consistent.

Yeah, sure, I added this into the summary now. I didn't do it initially because I the commit is quite old (2010), so I thought that it wouldn't make much sense to mention that it is fixed only now...

You know, I'm confused too. Let's wait for a senior colleague who understands advanced stat usage.
