# Efficiently compare files, boolean outcome only (equal / not equal).
#
# Tricks (used in this order):
-# - Use the statcache module to avoid statting files more than once
-# - Files with identical type, size & mtime are assumed to be clones
-# - Files with different type or size cannot be identical
-# - We keep a cache of outcomes of earlier comparisons
-# - We don't fork a process to run 'cmp' but read the files ourselves
