That's what it does already.
Second, how much work would it be to add, say, md5 checksums to CVS.
CVSup can already do md5 checksums, but I don't see how it would
help here.

If you want a robust (but probably really slow) algorithm, you

I'd really prefer to have something for the whole collection. If
it has to check every file, then it will take about as long as doing
an update. I want it to be able to

Since cvsup can take a revision of a file from a given time, why not
use the time that the cvsup was started, this way it will ignore
anything that was modified while cvsup was running, and the mirror

Several questions.
First, what's wrong with stamping the files in a mirror with the timestamp
it has on the master?
Second, how much work would it be to add, say, md5 checksums to CVS.
Third, isn't the version number useful for something?
Just some ramblings...

The basic problem is in the phrase a timestamp of the last time
they updated from freefall. There is no single timestamp that is
representative of an update. Suppose I start an update at 15:00:00
UTC, and it finishes at 15:10:00. Every file updated came from
a snapshot at some point of
