Is there a way that xbmc could speed up skin updates by only updating the files that need updating? e.g. keeping checksums at the file level (or at least at dir level)
The use case is that most of the time once the first verson of a skin is available, subsequent updates are mostly xml changes but XBMC still downloads the whole thing.
If the user could use XBMC in the meanwhile it would be fine, but sometimes skin updates render the UI unusable and does not provide progress bar (see http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/13356), so for a user who's not tailing the log file while this is happening, it could seem like the update is hung and the system needs restarting
Thanks
