Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2004 16:10:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b673b6dbcfc6ae1f421bda788e25becc@terzarima.net> (raw)

i don't think i'd describe what replica attempts as `heuristic'.
there's a little graph of possibilities and it either chooses the safe
path or requests guidance.

an SHA1 hash would be helpful; by using mtime+length it can moan about
insignificant changes but then again, with some things it's possible
the mtime matters, and perhaps it should moan.

having mentioned SHA1: there might be an interesting variant that uses
venti scores.
