An approximate match of renamed directories may be possible without
even statting all the files.  Just look for a similar name tree.  If
it finds a good match, then it can do the more expensive finer-grained
checks.

On forehand you cant predict where the files are moved, so I think a DB is a necessity. (holding more characteristics than timestamp and size, especially signatures like checksum)
