I made a conscious decision not to worry about this.  I don't expect any
consequences worse than compile errors (when some but not all of a set
of mutually-dependent files are updated) or the use of an old version of
a file.

If it proves to be a problem in practice, then I'll probably
use a symlink to switch atomically between two working copies.
