index: use the checksum to check whether it's been modified We currently use a timetamp to check whether an index file has been modified since we last read it, but this is racy. If two updates happen in the same second and we read after the first one, we won't detect the second one. Instead read the SHA-1 checksum of the file, which are its last 20 bytes which gives us a sure-fire way to detect whether the file has changed since we last read it. As we're now keeping track of it, expose an accessor to this data.
