i think that erik was talking about conveying the root score
and having clients talk to the venti server directly, rather
than through fossil. in this case, once you've got the root
score, you've got the whole thing - venti doesn't know about
file permissions. using vac is a much better idea (it'd be even
better if directory mtimes reflected the max of the mtimes of any of their
descendants. but the ls -lt manifest removes most of that inefficiency)
