Venus could compute SHA-1 of file on fetch. Re-compute on close( ) and skip store if unchanged. Gives OS-independent solution, and avoids dependence on clocks. Does require faith in SHA-1. If Jan lets me, I might even implement it :-) But seriously, is computing SHA-1 on fetch and each close ( ) too much overhead on typical machines of people on codalist? -- SatyaReceived on 2007-03-23 13:28:41
