Stefan keeps me on my toes and makes sure I don't let rake rest on its
laurels :)
I actually saw the ruby-talk exchange and am investigating what it would
take to have rake do that. Essentially, it would be a second pass over
the prerequisites to make sure that all of them were invoked.
However, I am trying to understand the kind of problem that needs this
kind of solution. I would like to see a simplified version of your
original problem, with just enough data files to cause the problem. Just
a simple "cp" command for the transform would be enough.
Thanks.
