Sorry, this thread has gotten a little out of hand =)

I think my point was: most solutions available to me now involve 
potential breakage. Others require me to be more careful 6 years ago. 
Neither of those is desirable.

The current --update behavior makes this situation easy to get into. If 
there are no downsides to the old behavior (the point of this thread), 
then I think the old behavior is preferable.
