If you zip a directory twice, will it end up the same twice? According to the Zip standard, is it guarenteed to? I don't think so, because of different compression levels and such, so I wouldn't feel terribly comfortable doing it this way. I'd recommend the concatination way.

Hey Max.

You could just ZIP the directory...

consider also that taking the hash of a file *and* the hash of the directory is a very strong combination (or hash of file plus drive or hash of directory plus drive).


How do you take the hash of a directory? Concatenating all files in that 
directory and hash the output?
