    If you're talking about a source file, then that would change the 
last-modified timestamp of the source file, causing it to be newer than the 
target file so it will be copied on the next prepare.
    
    If you save changes to a source file at precisely the wrong time _while a 
build is in progress_ (and the change doesn't affect the size of the file), 
then it's possible the change could go undetected if a hook modifies the 
corresponding target file to make it newer than the changed source file. But 
even good old 'make' has this issue.
