try-summary could generate commit shell script #165

@mgree

Description

@mgree

The try-summary utility of #158 generates a human-readable summary of the changes in the upperdir. We currently use separate commit logic, but we could additionally/instead generate a shell script while computing the summary.

As a pro, this shell script would be an inspectable, durable artifact. It would also save a traversal during commit logic.

As a con, this shell script might end up being slower than try-commit, which only sometimes has invoke rm or mv.

On balance, this feature is currently unplanned. If implementing this behavior would help you, please leave a comment here to let us know.
