Instead of doing mysqldump into data.sql, it goes into data.sql.2 which I compare with the checked in data.sql using "diff -I <timestamp RE>". If there are no differences, I delete data.sql.2. If there are differences, I move data.sql.2 into data.sql and check in. Perhaps not as elegant but certainly works.
