great. this is useful.
unfortunately, ....
since your script keys off the modification time,
which can be change with a wstat, your program
misses (at least) things moved with replica that were not
moved the same day they were modified. for example:
; f=/contrib/quanstro/root/sys/src/cmd/upas/fs/mbox.c
; d = (2009/0807 2009/0806)
; diff /n/sourcesdump/^$d^$f >/dev/null || echo diffs
diffs
yet your markdown page does not show the difference.
history(1) tends to give output misleading in the same way.
