  I have encountered one situation where it was a bit of a problem.
  Still far better than the other pains involved in a git like VCS.

  Say I code up module and then write the test suits is a seperate
  filed that just included. Clearly there should be a dependency but
  it often slips out of the mind to have an --ask-deps while
  recording. Usually this is easy to spot if one looks at the commit
  messages

  * foo-tests
  * foo
  
  Then an amend-record --ask-deps would do the trick.

  The problem comes when there is something of this kind

  * bar-tests
  * bar
  * foo-tests
  * foo
  
  Now if bar-tests don't commute with foo-tests there is a problem in
  amending the dependencies. I think this will be solved with the
  rebase that is being implemented but then still this is a slight
  pain point.
