Well, that's not what you said ;-)
You said you wanted something that increases only when the file changes.
This does increase only when the file changes, it just increases by an
indeterminate amount each time ;-)
Seriously, using the number of times a file has changed as a reflection
of anything other than the number of times it has changed is a bad idea.
A high number of changes doesn't really map to "amount of work", or
anything meaningful in all cases.
