Why does it matter? mkid is lightning fast; I have it run once a week
when I'm usually away of my development machine, and it needs only 15
minutes to index all my tens of thousands of source files in 3
humongously large source repositories. With such speed, why should
one care for incremental updates? You are being brain-washed by
producers of slow indexing engines, if you think incremental indexing
is a must.
The same goes for `locate' DB updates: it needs only 9 minutes to
generate a DB of 758,000 files on my 2 large disks.
