(?!?) So you're advocating:

   * recursively crawl the entire tree and gather urls
   * compute the "common parent" url
   * recursively crawl the entire tree looking for mods
      - if mods are found, start the edit from common-parent-url

This is two recursive crawls. Is this worth the price of "not holding
a list of changed paths in memory"?
