CVS conflict avoidance

It may be a difficuly solution, but it sounds like it is CVS which is
broken to me.....

I tend to think CVS should be preserving repositary (version) timestamp 
on the destination file, if they are identical.

That way parse.c would only get rebuilt if parse.y was editied in the
repositary or locally. Of course if you hack parse.c then someone edits
parse.y, you deserve to get bitten....

Maybe this should be reported to the CVS maintainers as a bug?!

Cheers
Mark
