I knew about md5deep when I started with my own tool (as can be read in the |
| 15 |
readme ;-) ). But md5deep used one single md5 file at a tree’s root, whereas |
| 16 |
I wanted one file per directory in a tree. The reason being that I wanted to |
| 17 |
be able to copy individual directories and still check their hashes without |
| 18 |
editing checksum files. |
