I'll paste it here:
you are almost sure to have different
versions in the individual dirs as is; this won't change if only changes to
the parent are recorded, like I proposed. So in practice only one dir up
will be read the first time; and a second time only the current one.

No; read my answer on how in practice this will not happen in the usecase
you proposed. In fact; the only usecase where this will have an effect is
if you usually do a global update (your whole project) and then only update
one nested subdir. Then _one time_ will that do some extra reads.
Which part of my answer don't you understand? I pasted it 3 times and you
still have not responed to it.
