Personally I don't think that's necessary. The "-r bump on dep change"
argument is a defence against installer limitations and the
replication of changes to users.

As your commits were never pushed to users to install from, you've not
made a change that can visibly impact a single person, at least, not
under "typical" usecases.

There's a lot of different parameters that take effect here:

--find-copies-harder
-M
-C
-B

All have different effects on the verbosity and/or performance in
different situations.
