It just occurred to me that most modern file system provide a mechanism to monitor a tree of files for write activity.
Would it make sense to provide a monitor for files under monotone control which would queue a changed file for a low prioirty background task to fingerprint it into a cache of current fingerprints? Then come a commit etc operation monotone could first check the cache of fingerprints and not have to recalculate them during the operation. Thoughts?
