Ah yes, of course, forgot about it not being modified. So it should
show nothing if it wasn't modified, or show a modification if the file
content has been modified in the meantime (which is usually so in most
real-life cases, with refactoring going on, making changes, and then
somewhat later the user moves the file back to the original location
because he changed his mind).
