It's not a timestamp issue. The file paths change everytime so there are
always a set of files that were removed and a set of files that were added.
Even if the timestamps were correct (they may be) the add/remove makes it
look like a lot of changes. So, the Binder would need to taught to
recoginize the files from Merge Modules much as I described above.
