Good catch, thanks - and nice to see a unittest as well.


src/sycoca/kbuildsycoca.cpp (line 148)

    Couldn't TimestampChecker use TimestampFetcher (or just merge the two) to avoid the duplication of logic?



src/sycoca/kbuildsycoca.cpp (line 164)
<https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/125537/#comment59533>

    The idea was to not look at the mtime of every file, that's just too slow. Instead, we know that the mtime of the dir is modified, when a file is created or removed. Not when modified by hand, but doing that requires running kbuildsycoca by hand.
    
    So, swap this line with the next one, i.e. move it inside the isDir() check.
