Description
Would it be fruitful to return the commit of files that we've downloaded?
I understand I can manually make a timestamp of when I grab the files, however, I'd like the commit hash of the files I've just retrieved.
I would periodically check against the hash (rather than redownload everything) to ensure I am up-to-date.
