Somewhat related but more generic, you may also be interested in my
relink program I wrote a while back.

It will scan directories for files that can be hard linked together
and (optionally) relink the files back into a hard link.

Very good for photos, mp3s, or other vast collections of stuff where
hard links may have been broken at some point.

Although it wont help you if you changed meta-data in a file, it will
help you if you simply copied or renamed something.

It was written with fast performance as the goal.
