I have to agree with Jacob -- what common situation is 
changing the timestamps of your files but not the data?

git checkout branch
git checkout -

Is that a part of normal development process? Typically when I 
want incremental building, I'm editing a file, then rebuilding.

I mean, you check out a different branch, but you don't want to 
rebuild everything? I would. And with D, where there are so 
many templates, almost everything is going to need rebuilding 
anyway. This update to dub might replace a build-time problem 
with a build inconsistency problem (hopefully linker error, but 
possibly code generation differences).

Yes, it happens from time to time and on makefile based it 
involves recompilations of unchanged files but granted it could 
be just me.
