If you compile foo.c to foo.o, then checkout another version of foo.c, then you want foo.c to be recompiled. If checkout modifies the timestamp to pretend it was modified before foo.o, then make thinks the file is up to date. > If I do an "update/merge from remote" (there is no total ordering of release > numbers anyway) without a "make clean" before, I'm having a problem > anyway. No, you don't have a problem. Recompiling files after they're modified is the job of make, and it just does it. make doesn't know about revision numbers or identifiers, just timestamps. -- Matthieu -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
