Perhaps something similar to FsEvents on OSX which is a daemon that
interfaces with the OS to record this very information.

It only works across clean reboots, but it does work there.  Do a bad
shutdown, and your next backup or index take a long time to go scan
everything.

It would also be wonderful to have this for backups as well.
