I added the checksum: 1 directive to some of my dirvish.conf files, and
it found some files that hadn't been updated in a long time. Among my
documents, it found a number of Excel files, some of which I haven't
changed since before I started using dirvish (one is over 3 years old!).
I may have opened the files in Excel at some point, and it's possible
that Excel made some changes and saved the file without asking, and
without changing the metadata. I know that Unison (the file
synchronization project) disables checking metadata for Excel and MS
Project files, and always check those file by checksums, regardless of
the user's options. I should also point out that there are many Excel
files which were not seen as changed.
Among my system files, the only thing that seemed out of the ordinary
was a large number of Javascript files in the default Firefox chrome
directory (/usr/share/firefox/chrome/) and its subdirectories. These had
not been changed in the past couple of days. Running stat on one of them
shows:

All the files appear to have been changed on June 16th. Its reasonable
that I updated Firefox on that date. There are a large number of files
in that directory that didn't show up as changed now, but did get picked
up on the June 16 backup.
I hope this helps,
Yoav Klein
