I have a not-yet-committeed patch to ant of a <different> mapper, that
compares content. If files have the same timestamp and size they are
considered equal, but if the timestamps are different we do a byte for byte
compare.

Subject: content based uptodate


> Is there a way to find out if a file is uptodate based on the contents of
that file rather than the modified time? For example the server software is
reinstalled, thereby setting the modified time to current, I still want Ant
to configure it based on the templates in StarTeam, which may not have been
modified for a number of months. But on the same token I don't want the file
to be copied every time the deploy target is called, so always setting
overwrite=true will not do.
