Nice, and seems to do exactly what I meant. Actually the more important speedup gained from this change is that files that have changed in the non-common history of A but not in that of B, preserve their old time stamps, so the rebuild of my bugfix topic B after having built master is really quick now.

Thanks! Ralf
