Subject: hashtree: a couple of tiny improvements
X-Git-Tag: allmydata-tahoe-1.4.0~28
X-Git-Url: https://git.rkrishnan.org/vdrive/components/com_hotproperty/reliability?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d381bdc9054776512bf800ed48c805dc96875ffd;p=tahoe-lafs%2Ftahoe-lafs.git

hashtree: a couple of tiny improvements
 * calculate depth-first with math instead of traversing the actual tree
 * don't mark a node with a red dot if you instead compare it with an extant hash value (tiny optimization)
 * edit a comment about checking the root node
