Kohsuke,
I am not a build expert, and I have precious little time to understand
these subtleties.
I have built scripts and aliases to make for an efficient development
environment; now I don't understand what I'm going to get.
What I want to know is:
1. Does this change mean I'll get a stale build under some
circumstances?
2. When and why do I want to use "-U"?
