By storing the hash of the decompressed tarball contents (i.e. the logical hash), they can verify the validity of files without needing to keep the tarball around.

I've just squeezed another 5% of performance out of difftastic by finding a few HashSet values that weren't FxHashSet. I do wonder whether hash DoS resistance is a good default. Sure, Rust programs are often pretty fast anyway, but it feels like a different threat model to the rest of Rust.

Here's a weird UI pattern I haven't seen before. This sanitizer will keep things clean for 24 hours, so the time counts *down*. Every time I see it, it looks like 24 hour clock showing the wrong time!
