[Jalopy-devel] CRC rather than timestamps

[Michael M. <gh...@xt...>]

I was thinking it would be nicer to use CRC's rather than timestamps (or perhaps in conjunction with).
Are you planning anything like this or shall i forge ahead and make some patches...

Id also like to make it possible to not overwrite the file if the result of formatting was the same as the original
regardless of whether it "supposedly" dirty. 
I was thinking that it would be simple to print the tree to a buffer and calculate the CRC on the fly then
compare that with the CRC of the original... if they are the same do nothing. If they are different then do 
backups etc and write the file.
