When making a changeset, can you zap the path data from the sig before using it for comparisons? You should be able to look up files by dev+inode anyway.The only thing that has me scratching my head is the addition of the path field - it's not ideal for a couple of reasons: * It means moved files don't match inode sigs, so moving a large file will result in it being diffed, even if it hasn't changed.
I think it's rare enough to not be worth it. Sorta like adding binary file detection binary_files_differ().
