I wrote a work-around earlier today:
Pkg.clone("git://github.com/cstjean/ClobberingReload.jl.git")
using ClobberingReload: sinclude # silent include
sinclude("foo.jl") # no redefinition warnings
It's fresh off the press, so please file an issue if you encounter a
problem. It calls `include` under the hood; there's no magic involved. I
just intercept STDERR and remove the redefinition warnings.
