[volunteergrid2-l] verifying completeness of uploads

Depends on what you mean by "verify".  If you trust Tahoe to work
correctly, then just attempting to upload again (perhaps blowing away the
sqlite database to force a re-hash of everything) will do it, because if
the hash is the same it won't upload again.

Another option that comes to mind is to pick some files at random to
download then verify yourself that they're identical in whatever way seems
good to you (I'd just use shasum, but I have great faith in hashes).

Perhaps others will have better suggestions.
