Description
Only looking for mtime of vdir is not reliable, see current failures on travis. If a file in that vdir is only modified and not changed, the mtime of the directory might not change (and won't if the tool changing does not explicitly set the directory's mtime).

Research direction
The issue mentions current Travis failures caused by relying on the vdir mtime, but names no files, tests, or command entry point. Start by reproducing or locating those failures and tracing the existing vdir-to-database synchronization; done should be defined as a new command that reliably detects modified files without relying only on the directory mtime.
