I don't think it changing from clone to clone is a problem. Monotony
and the ability to properly catch when the underlying data really
changed are much more important factors. After all, there is no
_requirement_ that Last-Modified be used for If-modified-since headers
(although it is recommented, and clients that don't follow the
recommendation are warned to be aware of all possible odd problems
arising from not using it).

The real question is: _how_ do you get the (branch) update time?
