[Rd] Comments requested on changedFiles function

2013-09-04 Thread Duncan Murdoch
In a number of places internal to R, we need to know which files have changed (e.g. after building a vignette). I've just written a general purpose function changedFiles that I'll probably commit to R-devel. Comments on the design (or bug reports) would be appreciated. The source for the
