Now we only look at the timestamp from the previous fileset, instead of for the last time the file was seen.
This should improve lookup times, and thus the running time for backups with many files.
This change means that the following sequence of operations will react differently:
- backup
- delete file
- backup
- undelete file
- backup
Prior to this commit, the undeleted file would be seen with the original timestamp and thus can avoid being scanned for changes.
After this commit, the file will be treated as a new file, even if it has the previous timestamp and will thus be scanned for changes.
An additional switch has been introduced, --check-filetime-only that improves the lookup further by not looking at the metadata or filesize, and thus makes a much lighter call to the database, where fewer tables need to be touched.
