    I'm not convinced that setting f->dir.atime when f->up == nil 
    has any effect at all.  I'd like to figure that out before
    applying.

    I've been convinced that it's not right to change mtime.
    Perhaps there should be a new rmtime or something like that.
    It's also not clear how to make it work in the presence
    of binds.

    I think you can ignore the binds and just ascend the fossil tree.
    If fossil exposed something with the same properties (will change
    if a directory or anything under it changes) as the underlying
    venti score, but not the score itself, that would probably work
    just as well.  Perhaps an MD5 hash that fossil, not venti, could
    maintain.  It would really help with vacing dumps.
