i guess depends= isn't broken, but call is. gert, i can see that it's more "elegant" to get positive feedback when you say . however, imo, it's just syntactic sugar, not essential -- the language cost of force= was minor compared to revamping all those build files invested in the previous behav

In version 0.8.4 when a target is defined with a dependency that calls another target with the same dependency, the target is executed a second time. In version 0.8.3, the target was only executed once. Which is the proper / desired behavior? The build scripts we have were counting on the 0.8.3 b
