[RFC] [PATCH 0/3] Recursive mtime for ext3

[Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>]

  Hello,

  in following three patches is implemented recursive mtime feature for
ext3. The first two patches are mostly clean-up patches, the third patch
implements the feature itself. If somebody is interested in testing this
(or even writing a support of this feature in rsync and similar), please
contact me. Attached are sources of simple tools set_recmod, get_recmod
for testing the feature and also a patch implementing basic support of
the feature in e2fsprogs. Comments welcome.
