to clarify, sources can be rebuilt at any time so touching files and pushing the contrib package will only serve to obfuscate when the files were actually last changed. it won't prevent the nupas contrib package from "breaking" again. sorry for the inconvienence. i don't know of a better way. it would be nice if applylog had an option to always resolve conflicts in favor of the server. - erik
