clawbot 9625cff5ba Leave removed copies out of report and trees (closes #173)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
A deleted duplicate stayed in both reports until a scan covered it, and
a missing scan operand is a fatal error. report now runs lstat on each
path of a possible duplicate group and drops paths that are gone; trees
does the same for the directory at the top of each copy, never the
files inside. A group left with one copy is not reported. Only "does not
exist" and "not a directory" count as gone, so a permission error keeps
the copy for an unprivileged user. README says a stale report is fixed
by scanning again.

the directory at the top of each copy still exists, as `report` checks a path.
It looks at no file or directory inside a copy.
