// between the directory and database, including the following:
//
// * sample file directory's disk not being mounted.
// * mixing up mount points of two sample file directories belonging to the
//   same database.
// * directory renames not properly recorded in the database.
// * restoration of the database from backup but not the sample file
//   directory.
// * restoration of the sample file directory but not the database.
// * two sample file directory paths pointed at the same inode via symlinks
//   or non-canonical paths. (Note that flock(2) has a design flaw in which
//   multiple file descriptors can share a lock, so the current locking scheme
//   is not sufficient to detect this otherwise.)
// * database and sample file directories forked from the same version, opened
//   the same number of times, then crossed.
