I wonder if there have ever been any considerations to add a content

I do it at the application level using a short Tcl script recording
MD5 hashes of the files. It's a manual process. One benefit is that
it is filesystem agnostic. I could use it on FAT if i wished.
Thank you for sharing this!
I have considered such a manual approach. What I'm concerned about
however, is that I would too often need to check if a change was
intentional and might get used to just pressing "yes" without being
actually sure if something was meant to change.
So I'm not sure if that would be the most feasible for me. But how
interesting that I'm not the only one who thought about that approach!
