Are you saying, very simply, a count of all the tags for nodes, ways and
relations for any given timestamp?

For example:
2008-12-15 08:04 = 898266982
2008-12-15 08:05 = 898278312
2008-12:15 08:06 = 898279938
etc

I was thinking of something with a little bit more granularity, such as the
sum of the seconds component of each time stamp.  This would also, I think,
be quicker to recalculate if needed.

If the checksum was stored in a table for every minute diff update then, if
something goes wrong, it would be easy to see when it went wrong, and make
it easier to correct by re-running diffs from that moment.
