-I want to think a little bit about why the location log is updated in this
-case before thinking about adding an option. It might make sense to just
-not update the location log when it already says the file is present and
-only the timestamp is being changed.
-
-I can think of 2 reasons not to do it:
-
-1. If it has to query the current state of the log, that might slow down
- `git annex add` in the common case, just for this less common case.
-
- But, updating the log necessarily involves reading it in and outputting
- an updated one, so that could probably be finessed.
-
- (Or, git annex add makes a separate pass to add unlocked files anyway,
- so it could only do the query in that case.)
-
-2. There might be good reasons to want to update the timestamp in the log,
- since it's just verified that the content is still present. Maybe.
-
- But then, fsck doesn't update the timestamps when it does the same kind
- of verification. And, the only thing that updates a given repo's entry
- in the log is that repo, or another repo that is sending or dropping
- content from that repo.
-
- There don't seem to be any reasons of
- distributed consistency to need to worry about updating the timestamp
- just to reflect current facts.
