Does libgrabber verify if files are new?
I found a project that seemed to fail to upload the new files after bumping a new release. 2 clues:
- file dates are 2 weeks old after the new 0.3.1
- top-line comment still reads the old 0.3.0 version.
I'd think it would be nice to at least warn of old files, so our admins won't push a non-update update when they're multitasking.
I think its too much work for such rare cases
We could check for files identical to the previous release by using a checksum relatively easily, but it does seem like overkill for what I would presume is such a rare occurrence.

That works. What happened in this case was the docs were changed, but not source, so he bumped the version anyhow. I can see someone bumping version for changing only dev dependencies also. But yes, very uncommon case.
