Yes, thats a nice recipe that I would be using
if not for the fact that I already switched to
"touch", which requires 1 fewer tmp file and
no comparison.
But I'll keep this in mind if something wrong
happens with my current solution, thanks!
I wonder if git can provide some helper script
for other projects to solve this in a same way.
