Before this change, integration tests often could not be run on backends with
differing features from the local system that goldenized them. In particular,
differences in modtime precision, checksum support, and encoding would cause
false positives. After this change, the tests more accurately account for the
features of the backend being tested, which allows us to see true positives
more clearly, and more meaningfully assess whether a backend is supported.
Before this change, bisync had no mechanism for "retrying" a file again next
time, in the event of an unexpected and possibly temporary error. After this
change, bisync is now essentially able to mark a file as needing to be
rechecked next time. Bisync does this by keeping one prior listing on hand at
all times. In a low-confidence situation, bisync can revert a given file row
back to its state at the end of the last known successful sync, ensuring that
any subsequent changes will be re-noticed on the next run.
This can potentially be helpful for a dynamically changing file system, where
files may be changing quickly while bisync is working with them.
