Re: Bug with revisions?

Wouldn't it be safer to hash the size & timestamp and use that instead?
I don't think that would affect performance significantly considering
both filesize and timestamp come from the inode.. but then this is
hardly my area of expertise..

        
It just strikes me as incredibly unsafe to rely on timestamp alone..
particularly for diff output! Perhaps at least provide an option to
force a diff even if the timestamp is the same? Just for those few
times when we do something that's scripted...
