Date: Wed,  7 Mar 2007 08:47:17 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <07f076c821c5ff2efca16357f198075a@coraid.com> (raw)

i'm using updatedb on two successive days in a dump
where $path on day n-1 was a file and $path on day n
was a directory.  updatedb generates an 'm' (modified
stat) line for this case.  this seems wrong to me.
i would think that it should generate a 'd' (delete) followed 
by a 'c'  (create) pair.  although i'm sure an argument could
be made the other way.

i'm leaning toward changing updatedb.  is there a better
argument for fixing the consumer?
