Has anyone done a test that verifies exactly what this does?

If I add a new directory to my fileset, and I have this directive turns
on, do the new files get backed up as part of the incremental?

I have personally been doing as Craig said -- adding new major fileset
changes near the full backup... but it seems to me that this is not
dangerous in all of the cases that I can think of... Here's one I am
just about to encounter:

1. Add new FS to machine
2. Add new FS to Bacula FileSet
3. Next day, IgnoreFileSetChanges = yes, does my new filesystem get
backed up or does it not?
