i think this harks back to ye olde dump.  the main difference
is that "inode number" has now become a "score" and gotten
much fatter.

the problem at this level is it's hard to maintain any differences.
(you can't skip one of a sequence of 6 incremental dumps.)
or apply changes from one venti to another.  i don't see how
to make sense of venti-level syncing unless it is so basic that
you dump all the blocks from one venti into another.  in which
case, no special tools are needed.
