On Linux/unix you should consider ctime too since it is much harder for
it to be backdated compared to an actual file change. In fact, even
trying to backdate the mtime will cause ctime to be updated to the
current time. Of course it will get updated on the pristine file as
well if you move the whole tree, but any mismatch (ctime, mtime, or
length) could trigger the content check.
