On "How do I keep current with Org mode development?"

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#keeping-current-with-Org-mode-development

it is suggested the following commands

git pull && make clean && make && make doc && make install


I've put together with a command which updaes a bunch of svn repositories
from my students.

The problem is: make clean before make FORCES recompiling the same files
again and not only the updated files!

As org-mode is updated very often and the the compiling process is a bit
slow and always annoying
I decide to change the comand to

git pull & && make  && make install

I dropped make doc because it seems that there is som problem with texinfo
files of these new version.



The problem of omitting make clean isthat: if a file disappears its compiled
maybe will not disappear and cause problems.

Therefore I repeat Sebastien request:

*Shouldn't a simple `make' do everything needed to succeed?*
