A common case for me is "bzr pull" or "cvs update" or "tla star-merge"
to bring in new changes. I don't look at all the Elisp files brought in
so byte-compile-file is not convenient, and byte-compilation often leads
to odd results because the `require's read the old .elc files.

I'm used to do "make cvs-update" just about after every "cvs update".

Are you saying that in this case you would want to load the .el files
instead?
If so, I wonder if the right solution is to do something special when loading
a file for `require' in compilation. Perhaps offer to compile them?

Indeed, that's what I do in my local branch, where the bytecompiler's
handling of require gives precedence to the .el files over the .elc files.

It needs to work in batch mode. And byte-compiling them can easily fall
into circularities.

I use revisiton control tools for several Elisp packages outside
of Emacs. I don't want to reinvent the same Makefile rules for each one
of them.
