    @Dave:
    Good point.
    Calculating hash is another approach that is fast for small files (I always sum-checked large files and I thought it will be slow in this case too but it is not)..

    @blur13:
    ‘cp’ vs. ‘cat >’; I wanted to point out alternative to ‘cp’.
    Also, you could remove+create|modify a symbolic link.
