There's no need for such a thing, since you cannot commit unmodified
files (although, it does have such a thing anyway).

It's just that the main loaddefs.el has timestamps for every file it
scans, so every change to such a file (even if it's just a comment and
does not affect autoloads) causes a change in the generated loaddefs
file.
