Post #3562686

@jdlh@mstdn.ca Fixity is at the core: tracking whole-file hashes as primary identifiers, and optionally merkle trees for detecting partial-file changes, and also optionally metadata-excluding hashing for recognizing "same" objects with changed metadata. "Verify this file against known hash history" is a primary operation. Not in scope to add durability like erasure coding, but would potentially support such tools.
