That's because the temporary "Urls" file is created there, and then moved to
its destionation.
Could/should be changed, perhaps.
I did that so that there'd be a limited number of places where temporary files
could be lying around, mostly for the WAA.

I'd ignore only this file on status with stop_change set - so that exactly
your "if" in the shell wouldn't trigger.
It should be committed, I think - so that you can see which URLs you were
using, at which revisions. That might be necessary to rebuild the machine
exactly as it was.

Fine - patches are welcome, even if it's just for typing mistakes.
