I needed help with understanding the snapshot comparison algorithm
that snapper uses and its shortcomings. From reading the code, what I
understood is that it does a block by block compare. I'm not very sure
if that's the best way to go about it. Also, since the send receive
code is still in development stages, is there a scope to add more
functionality to it?
