In fact, I think that will check MD5.  The implementation can only store one
type of checksum in the catlog and incremental backups just check whatever was
stored (and assume it is the same type as in the original backup).

'i' is the st_ino field in the stat, i.e. the number that uniquely identifies
the data for the file in the file system.  Note that there is always exactly 1
inode that references the data for each file in a UNIX file system.

'n' is the st_nlinks field in the stat, i.e. the number of hard links to the
inode.  Nothing records the number of soft links.

I think you need to remove 'c' otherwise you will get the same results as
before when the ctime changes.
