This commit adds a command line option (-e or --noinodes) to allow fdupes to remove duplicates even if the inode changes between calls to stat(). The following comment added to README explains:
Some remote-mounted filesystems (e.g. gvfs-smb) generate inodes in
the client instead of sending server inode values. With a large
number of files or client cache activity, inodes can change even
though the file has not changed or moved. Using -e or --noinodes
allows fdupes to delete files where the device, creation and
modification times, and size has not changed during processing,
ignoring any inode change.
