The discussion in the thread "Updating a package's gnulib files in CVS" has shown that some people need gnulib-tool to work this way, while others need it to work the way it currently does. So, I agree there should be an option to specify it. And since it usually does not change with repeated gnulib-tool invocations it should be persisted in the gnulib-cache.m4 file. You're welcome to propose a patch! Bruno
