FTI: File Tree Indexer

About

FTI spiders a folder-tree, hashing each file found, and produces a single JSON file which lists all of the files and their hashes. If a hash matches multiple files, they are listed together (currently these are commented out until I figure out how they should be represented in the output).

The files produced by FTI can then be used by FIC to determine what files in each tree are missing from another tree, where matching files might not be in matching relative paths or even have the same name.

Notes

Note to self: the particular archive repo I'm trying to merge in with the main Nextcloud is:
