I don't. Sorry if that was unclear. I want:

a) That we don't need an -f option at all, i.e. that we have dependency tracking pinned down so well that any changed input automatically causes a rebuild and changed hash. (A boy can dream, can't he? :-), or

b) A different name for the -f option, or

c) A clear information message when using -f, maybe something like "INFO: Tainting the hash to force a rebuild", that alerts the user to the goings-on under the hood.
