[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Make geany -g tags output reproducible (#1989)

[elextr]

You don't say what the actual problem is, but I presume your problem is that the order of tags changes because the order of files in the list `lookup_includes()` returns changes as the inode changes.  If you want reproducible builds, instead of relying on application internals and globbing orders you should list the files explicitly instead of using globs.

This change will also fail to de-dup paths that are linked to the same file, but hopefully that will be rare.

If we can live with that, performance wise this should be better (stated without benchmarking of course :) because it no longer stats the filesystem to make a hash key.
