What
The scan that decides which files changed now consults git clean-filter blob ids, can be cancelled part-way, and reports how many files it asked about, how many settled, and how long it took.
Details
- A file previously marked changed can be reclassified as unchanged once the filter answers.
- Two copies of a file are now also considered in agreement when their git blob id matches and etag and mode still line up, not only when their sha256 matches.
- There is a cap on how many decisions a worker will defer.
