Comment:
Weird, I can't reproduce this (initially I commented saying I might have
overlooked something).
First of all, when working on a team with multiple people, the current
solution doesn't work. Every computer is on its own. Here's a real world
scenario:
1. Person A runs collectstatic. All files are uploaded.
2. Person B makes a change to one file and runs collectstatic. Again, all
files are uploaded.
This is untenable for a team size N > 1.
Secondly, there is a bug in the heuristic used to identify changed files.
I just changed a js file in one of my static folder after running
collectstatic earlier. When I run collectstatic again, nothing is re-
uploaded, even though the file has changed.
if you look at the source, this is because collectstatic only checks if a
file has changed by checking it's path name. The contents of the files
themselves are ignored.
