Need an obvious way for user to know their local published changes have synced #95

Use case: I edit a file locally and publish the change. The Library button in Beaker shows me that I have no unpublished changes, and I can see the timestamp of the file I changed (ex: "Today, 6:56pm"). On Hashbase.io it is not clear whether the change has been synced. When I download the file I edited I get the old version. I wanted to make sure my changes were synced on hashbase before I emailed a friend informing him that the change was available.

Ok we'll see if we can get something put together for this

I am able to detect whether the site synced to hashbase by opening the DAT url on another computer and looking at the version number of the archive. So it would help if the version number and timestamp for that version can be displayed in the header of the file directory. Then you can document the use case of how you check that your files synced by comparing versions.

That's a good idea and really easy to implement. I'll make a TODO to show the current version synced in Hashbase's UI
