Errhmm, thanks for correction. Am I right that repo checksum switched
on means that modified files will be those where checksum stored and
checksum computed from the file on fs is different? And once you
switch that off, you rely purely on comparison of modification time on
file in fs and I guess stored modif time in repo db? If so, then
indeed I've been completely mistaken and thank you very much for your
kind correction. If however I'm still off, I would appreciate
reference to some material explaining repo/chksums business in fossil.
Thanks! Karel
