+* Original Issue: [#6477](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/6477)

+The `-Z mtime-on-use` flag is an experiment to have Cargo update the mtime of 
+used files to make it easier for tools like cargo-sweep to detect which files 
+are stale. For many workflows this needs to be set on *all* invocations of cargo.
+To make this more practical setting the `unstable.mtime_on_use` flag in `.cargo/config`
+or the corresponding ENV variable will apply the `-Z mtime-on-use` to all 
+invocations of nightly cargo. (the config flag is ignored by stable)
