The Human Futilities

The Human Futilities are a set of file-oriented command-line utilities, primarily useful for handling large filesets.

A file tree is a given folder and all of the files and folders inside of it.
A file index is a collection of file-content hashes and the filepecs for the files that had those hashes at the time of indexing.
A file collection is all the files referred to by a particular content-hash index

name	seq	spider?	hash	description
FF	0	Y	-	find files by mask, date, contents
FCM	3	n	I	file collection merge
FIC	2	n	I	file index comparison
FTM	0	Y	n	file-tree mover
FTI	1	Y	O	file tree index
FTS	3	n	I (opt)	file tree sync

I might end up splitting FTS into multiple parts...
