 *

 * The returned value is an arbitrary point in time -- it can only be

 * used when comparing it to another `git_time_monotonic` call.

 *

 * The time is returned in seconds, with a decimal fraction that differs

 * on accuracy based on the underlying system, but should be least

 * accurate to Nanoseconds.

 * This function cannot fail.
