If you've tried `redo`, what issues did you find that put it into the "not good" bucket? [1] https://github.com/apenwarr/redo

Relevant: https://apenwarr.ca/log/20101214 . Code: https://github.com/apenwarr/redo . It's excellent!

Probably it's because this python implementation uses st.st_mtime ( https://github.com/apenwarr/redo/blob/master/state.py#L314 ) which is a double and therefore is not precise to enough digits for maximum granularity.

If you're interested in build systems, you may find djb's redo concept interesting, as implemented in https://github.com/apenwarr/redo/ for example.

apenwarr also did an implementation of redo. https://github.com/apenwarr/redo It might be interesting to see if the two of you interpreted DJB's documentation in the same ways.
