/**
 * In case we can't get a fast digest from the filesystem, we store this metadata as a proxy to the
 * file contents. Currently it is a pair of a relevant timestamp and a "node id". On Linux the
 * former is the ctime and the latter is the inode number. We might want to add the device number in
 * the future.
 *
 * <p>For a Linux example of why mtime alone is insufficient, note that 'mv' preserves timestamps.
 * So if files 'a' and 'b' initially have the same timestamp, then we would think 'b' is unchanged
 * after the user executes `mv a b` between two builds.
