Thanks for the clarifications.

So things sped up because now you're getting incremental builds, whereas before, you would have to force full builds when the tag changed. That makes sense.

I guess I shouldn't be... but I'm always surprised that people even attempt incremental rebuilds of large-scale systems. I don't trust all the tools 100% to produce correct results when making incremental changes in between builds. There are too many links in the chain and too many things that can go wrong. Too many wasted days tracking down mysteries that ended up being simple stale out-of-date build products in my past I guess.

Rather than giving up on incremental builds, I suppose I should just adopt a new personal policy: *if* something goes mysteriously wrong, first try a full re-build, ... *then* investigate if necessary. :-)


Thx,
David
