While those look almost the same, they're not. I tried once to use just
one of those but failed - the cache didn't work anymore.
Can't remember exactly why but I remember that I thought it was too much
work to make it work with just one queue. I didn't even commit that change.

GetStatusForMembers uses those two files to determine whether it has to
fetch the status again (i.e., whether an file/folder has changed).
Paths inside admindirs are never crawled, but they're added to the
queue. Because those are added to the queue by the directory watcher,
and we have to catch changes to more than just the two files to catch
all changes: don't forget about revert and commit. When reverting,
neither entries nor dir-prop-base will change. And with a commit, the
file itself won't change.

I doubt you got the assers because of the caching but due to race
conditions. You see, it's perfectly possible to get a 'true' returned
when checking whether a file exists, but then even one statement later
the file has been deleted by another process.
And caching is really necessary, otherwise the disk access would
increase a *lot* (try it and you'll see).
