No, not after the first time. SubWCRev creates the file as a temp file and
compares it to the existing one (if present). If they are identical (should be
the case if there are no local changes), the temp file is silently discarded so
as not to change timestamps unnecessarily.

Client-side hooks are in our issue tracker, but not high priority at the moment.
But you should just be able to add it as a pre-build step anyway. The only gotcha
is that you have to remember to rebuild after a commit. I generally use the
$WCMODS keyword to add a suffix like "-dev" to the version string if there are
local uncommitted mods.
