I'm not sure that I'm following exactly what you're asking for there,
but I think that there is a trade-off on trying to make dependency
tracking too complicated vs. simply using -a. If there are things you
don't want updated with -a there are options like -i and +IGNOREME
files to solve those problems. Take a look at the man page for more
information.
