Oh, good!  David's approach sounds even better because (as I dimly  
understand it), it includes the filesystem state itself as well as  
the patches in the inputs to the hashes.  This should make it roughly  
equivalent to git in security.  (Actually better if it is using  
sha-256 instead of sha-1.)
