Okay. So, would it make sense to encode file dependencies in the manifest? Based on this conversation, I'm assuming the answer is going to be no, but it would be good to know the reasons (or a link to the thread if this has been hashed out before). As demonstrated, this behaviour is easy enough to simulate using the existing tools and some extra meta-data. What would be the problem with adding explicit support for it?
