Detailed Description

 Because of issues of too long filenames if the number of revision
is growing, the simple recipe of creating folder names by concatenating
the names of the revisions does not work.
Therefore, we use a hashing algorithm. At the same time we want to be
able to look up the folder content easily, so we create a rainbow table,
that is a simple text file that contains hash <> revisions.

update_from_json()

		str	path

update_to_json()

None update_to_json	(		self,
		str	path
	)

 Read json file (if exists) for anything the dictionary
doesn't contain yet and write everything back.

        self.to_json(path)
 
 
# Note that it is enough to have one object, even in the (unexpected) case that
# there is more than one output_base_dir (at the cost of having some unneeded
# entries there, perhaps)
