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!
