The manual (current git) says:

True if the time of the last access (or status change or data modification)
> of the current file is more recent than that of the last data modification
> of the @var{reference} file.

Presumably it really means:

True if the time of the last access (or status change or data modification)
of the current file is more recent than that of the @var{reference} file.

In other words, like is compared with like, it's not always the mtime of
the reference file that is used.
