[issue42958] filecmp.cmp(shallow=True) isn't actually shallow when only mtime differs

[Christof Hanke]

Christof Hanke <christof.hanke at mpcdf.mpg.de> added the comment:

Andrei,
cmp is the deep-compare part of filecmp. I thought we were taking about the shallow one.

Thus,
- shallow like rsync "quick": size + mtime.
- deep like cmp
