"""Efficiently compare files, boolean outcome only (equal / not equal).
|

|
|
||
|
|
Tricks (used in this order):
|
||
|
|
- Use the statcache module to avoid statting files more than once
|
||
|
|
- Files with identical type, size & mtime are assumed to be clones
|
||
|
|
- Files with different type or size cannot be identical
|
||
|
|
- We keep a cache of outcomes of earlier comparisons
|
||
|
|
- We don't fork a process to run 'cmp' but read the files ourselves
