I don't understand your point, how does this happen twi ... ohhh because dependent files get changed as well? Surely this is just a matter of how you specify yo

  imagine your project structure is the following : header.h src1.cpp src2.cpp src3.cpp you do the following : 1. change header.h 2. rebuild. this rebuilds all your .cpp because they all use the header - this is fine and expected. 3. git pull --rebase because your coworker fixed a bug in src1.cpp which landed in the master branch 4. here when you rebuild with make, even though only src1.cpp has changed from your point of view, everything actually gets rebuilt because git stashes your change, applies the remote commits and unstashes your change, so header.h's timestamp gets changed again.
