These both sound like really good ideas. (I would say "sequence number"
instead of "timestamp".) An option to say you trust (or mistrust) a
remote repository's assurances about the sanity of its database is very
different from one that simply turns off checking, but the effect on
runtime is the same.
Another way to reduce the amount of sanity-checking needed would be to
identify incremental subsets of the database that can be marked as
already-checked, individually, and then then only recheck the parts
that changed since last time.
