It is particularly egregious when a tag is laid down, like today.
csup(1) ends up refetching a big chunk of the tree from scratch
because so many files have these spurious checksum mismatches.
Personally, I don't care too much, but quite a bit of mirror bandwidth
is wasted this way.

I optimistically assume that there are no real errors and I run
csup without -s once a week or so, just in case.
