Hmm, I've been thinking for a long time of writing a VFS layer that reports the MD5 of a file as an extended attribute or something, and automatically recomputes it if the file is written to. Could be real useful for cvsup, too. Unfortunately, I'm not sure VFS layering works well enough for this to work.
