As an alternative to use SHA-1 hashing. There's the option to
have a daemon running the background listing on filesystem
events.
BTW, is timestamps vs SHA-1 hashing really the most pressing
issue with Dub?

Agreed. A server approach would probably scale much better,
if the intent is to speed up the developer's CTR cycle.
But in any case, thanks to Symmetry for doing this! This is
huge.
We need both a fs-watcher daemon support and "offline"
incremental build support, based on SHA-256 (note that git is
moving away from SHA1 to SHA256 [1]). I'd say SHA-256 is cheap
enough these days [2] that I don't see a reason not to use it
even for "online" fs-watcher daemon compilation.
