In commit redo-0.11-4-g34669fb, we changed os.stat into os.lstat to
avoid false positives in the "manual override" detector: a .do file
that generates $3 as a symlink would trigger manual override if the
*target* of that symlink ever changed, which is incorrect.
Unfortunately using os.lstat() leads to a different problem: if X
depends on Y and Y is a symlink to Z, then X would not be rebuilt when
Z changes, which is clearly wrong.
The fix is twofold:
1. read_stamp() should change on changes to both the link itself,
*and* the target of the link.
2. We shouldn't mark a target as overridden under so many situations.
We'll use *only* the primary mtime of the os.lstat(), not all the
other bits in the stamp.
Step 2 fixes a few other false positives also. For example, if you
'cp -a' a whole tree to another location, the st_ino of all the targets
will change, which would trigger a mass of "manual override" warnings.
Although a change in inode is sufficient to count an input as having
changed (just to be extra safe), it should *not* be considered a manual
override. Now we can distinguish between the two.
Because the stamp format has changed, update the SCHEMA_VER field. I
should have done this every other time I changed the stamp format, but
I forgot. Sorry. That leads to spurious "manually modified" warnings
after upgrading redo.
