Ok, the only scenario where that might be relevant to run make clean and then run is when you switch branches. To avoid this, one could try to checkout the two branches. (In mercurial I can checkout different branches in different directories using the share command, I presume something like this is also possible in git, I think it is called working directory or so). >> 2.

Right now I try to tweak such an option, but it is also not that pressing for me to have it. One question though. How on earth do I find out the actual version of an auctex commit. Till 13.3 tags have been used. But now? Thanks Uwe -- I strongly condemn Hamas heinous despicable pogroms/atrocities on Israel I strongly condemn Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine. I support to deliver weapons to Ukraine's military. I support the EU and NATO membership of Ukraine.
