I could've sworn fsdiff did not do this=97i.e. that it skipped checksum =20=

calculation for files that were marked for deletion in an applicable =20
transcript.  I think Patrick and I had a brief conversation last July =20=

about the logic for this.  But sure enough, Greg's description of the =20=

behavior seems to be accurate:

m200-28-img5-cl:/ root# echo foo > ./private/var/root/bar
m200-28-img5-cl:/ root# fsdiff -Acsha1 ./private/var/root
- f ./private/var/root/bar                      0644     0     0 =20
1158178017       4 8dLS+STphqyG/fezbJS83zK+7BU=3D

Did this change in the 1.7.0 overhaul?  Is this behavior desirable, =20
for some reason that currently escapes me?
