That update action will create a new hash for the file, hence another counter will be created for the same file, same end result as (1) solution.

You don't yet have a programming problem, you have a specification 
problem.  Somehow, you want a file to be considered "the same" even when 
it's moved, renamed and/or modified.  So all files are the same, and you 
only need one id.

Don't pick a mechanism until you have an self-consistent spec.
