Taking "quick'n'dirty" to the extreme _and_ combining it with Linus'
attitude to testing and documentation... ;-)

It is premature for us mere mortals to imitate Linus in that
aspect by at least ten years ;-).  Please don't.

About the content of the change, if we were to do this, we need
to also record owner and group. recording full permissions
without recording owner and group does not make much sense.

Maybe implement tracking of a generic file attribute would be a better idea?
So that porcellans can implement permissions/ownership/EA themselves,
if they really want to...
