There's no current way (other than the new vtable) to get the files for a
given version via SQL, so that'd have to be done in conjunction with
manifest parsing, i.e. C. Or we write an SQL routine like
file_is_changed(name) and reimplement 'update' and friends to use the new
vtable? (i'm just speculating - don't know if that's reasonable/feasible.)

Which would almost certainly once in a blue moon, as a side-effect of
external forces, have a false negative and cause grief? The current
behaviour is "slow but sure," but obviously inadequate (or "over-adequate")
for massive repos.
